    Old Sharptonn, he might be stretching the truth a bit. While I might be 6'6" and 290lbs without an ounce of fat, I do wear a size 18 ring on my ring finger of my left hand (they didn't have a sizer big enough for my right).

    BUT

    The razor is a standard size 8/8's razor

    Thanks Tom
    Bob

    Remember what you did, now!

    It's nice. A little scary to my eye!

    That purple maple that you used for the scales has to be some of the most visually striking wood that I have ever seen used. Bravo!!!

    Really nice creation Bob. Love that point style on razors most of all.
    Did you use a checkering file for the jimp work?
    Gorgeous razor sir..

    Assuming that was performed before the tempering?

    Bob, do you have a hidden website where you sell your blades? Because the shorties I have seen come from you are fantastic, and make me want to give you my money!
