Have you ever made what might be called a traditional straight razor?

I have and do, just tend to not take as many pictures of those.

The scales still look a little chunky to me. The tail appears kind of short and the tang kind of leggy. I just figured out what looks really off to me: You didn't thin the spine of the razor leading to the pivot pin. Therefore the huge space between the scales. This is all just talk though. This razor looks like the direction you might go rather than the direction you have been. IMHO and really, I'm not that humble. Keep at it JR.

Thanks I appreciate those pointers! The others that I've posted are all customs made to order, so they're already gone before they're made. However, when I do get a chance to create a line myself other than the basic O1 line. I'll add a couple in slim clean lines. Thank you!

Man I look at your razors all the time and one day it will be mine, oh yes it will be mine. Waynes world quote of the day. Beautiful razor though seriously

Do you ever say anything positive to anyone? Ever? Like...Just once? I would love to see you post some of the razors you have made.

I love it. The blade is amazing!

Different strokes for different folks,nice work,well executed ! I'm just starting out making razors but I'm a long time knife maker and a nut job when it comes to attention to detail and fit and finish ,from what I can see your on the right track !
