Thread: Down to the marrow....by OCD

This is an 8/8's full hollow spike point. Elongated hexagons are filed into the spine and thumb jimps on the bottom. The finish is near-mirror.

The scales are made from the marrow part of an antler, the part that looks like a sponge. I cut these so long ago that I'm not sure what animal they're from. Elk, I think. I then splotch dyed the marrow Violet, Scarlet, and Sunshine Yellow. I then coated them with an amber colored epoxy to mute it down. The result, Beautiful deep coat with rich manly colors. The pics don't do them justice. Wedge is from ivory micarta.

As always, Thanks for looking

Nice job Bob. Love the angularity of the spine and edge lines.
A beautifully executed BEAST.

Great work, that is a solid looking razor

Love the blade style, and being a OCD razor, I bet it's crazy sharp!
But the alligator head is unpleasant... (animal lover)

I love worked spines, nice job

Thanks for your input, glade you like the razor and gator head. This particular gator head is plastic and made in China, but does look realistic. The guy at the store told me how to tell the difference...besides the price tag.

Oh, ok. Looking closely, the gator eyes look fake.
Anyway, keep the amazing work!

Good job, nice color on the handle. I also thought that the head of a real animal.

Nice razor, Bob! Looks to have some heft to it!
