    Default A New Creation

    This is a new one I just finished up. I think it turned out good, It sure took a great edge. It is very large and heavy in the hand. The specs are:
    Steel:O1
    Width: 8/8
    Grind: 1/4 hollow
    Point: French
    Scales: Ivory Paper Micarta
    Inlay: ALVS
    I did some file work on the spine that is the vine pattern. I also put some brass in the tang, I though it would look cool and I never did it before so I thought why not? I also put a third heel pin (or whatever everybody else calls it for mainly looks at the last minute. If you look closely you can notice that the ALVS Shell did crack, I do know why and I have more on the way to fix that issue.

    Looks like you spent a lot of time with the files on that one. Looks great :<0)
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    Yeah, it took me a while to do the file work but I enjoy doing it and it actually turned out like something I was picturing in my mind. Half the time I begin file work and it ends up looking nice but not always what I initially picture in my mind. This one turned out nice. Thanks for the compliment! I appreciate it

    Thanks for the compliment Pete! I really appreciate it!! I've been able to do a few this year and this one is by far my favorite. I test shaved with it today and this razor shaves like a dream, just glides through the whiskers. Again thanks!!

    That's really a pleasure to look at Jared, thanks for sharing the pics. Excellent work. The file work must be tedious.

    Even though this razor is not really my thing I can see that you put a lot of time in on this one. It has some great attention to detail. Very well executed!

    Really liked the decorations of the blade and the handle. Creativity.
    file work made before or after hardening?
    If something is unclear in the text, please correct me ......
