Custom Contrast razor 7/8 - HG
I just finished up this custom razor. The tang got black polished finish. It was quite difficult to perform at home. I do not etched with acid. I did, as is often the weapons. I tested it, it works very well. I hope you will like it.
steel: O1 hardened to HRC 61
scales and wedge: G10
blade wide: 7/8"
grinding: 1/4 hollow
Nickel silver pins and stainless steel washers. Phosphor-Bronze pivot bearing washers.

That is a beautiful job of work! Thank you!

PS. The lines of the scales so clearly match the spine of the blade that there is no question that all was designed as a whole. So seldom that is done, unfortunately!Last edited by Geezer; 10-14-2015 at 04:12 PM.

Magnificent work. I agree with geezer, great design throughout. I love that the tang and wedge match too! Beautiful.
