    Default 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!

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