    Default OCD 8/8's short Buckeye burl

    This is another of my short razors. The edge is about 1/2" shorter than normal. It has finger notches on the spine and a coarse jimpy notch for the thumb. The blade is 8/8s full hollow with a satin finish and a round nose. Scales are stabilized buckeye burl with a polished aluminum wedge.

    I made this razor for myself, but my brother's business partner wanted it...... so.....money talks! Many happy shaves Greg!!!!

    As usual, thanks for looking

    Very pretty, nice hollow grind. It's kind of stocky, like a little bulldog

    Nice work, Bob! Been missing you around here!

    That short, stocky combo is a home run, IMO.

    that is a chunky looking little razor just add black G10 scales and it would be a tactical blade

    Thats one fine piece. That shorter blade looks like it would work great for some precision cutting.

    What a beauty. I love shorty blades, and that one looks like it will really get the job done. Beautiful scales.
