The grinding process before the heat treating.
I have a simple machine but next year I can work with a professional grinder.

Heat treating process. I would like to say thanks to the guys in The Forge topic for their help!
My process:
I leaved 1.5 mm thikness of the edge.
soaking: 805C / 1480F, 8 min.
quenching oil: 55C 20 sec
tempering: after cooling to room temperature, 210C 2x1h (between cooling to room temperature)
After this I sanded a few tenths of millimeters from the edge.

Super interesting pictorial.
It's great to study different build techniques and methods.
The outcome is one heck of a razor!
Thanks for sharing.
