15/16 Custom

Here is a razor that I did a while back. It is the most hollow ground razor that I have made. It turned out good, took a good edge and is a good shaver. This is one that I am really proud of. Every full hollow razor I see made now by custom makers, I have a new appreciation for. It really takes a great deal of time a patience, but I think the end result was worth it.

Specs:
Steel: O1
Grind: Full Hollow (at least the most hollow I've done:)
Scales: Paua ALVS, Black horn wedge
Jimps on the top of the tang, pointed end with a french point. Attachment 231790Attachment 231791Attachment 231792Attachment 231793

Stunning I just love abalone.

That is a great looking blade, but the scales steal the show!!

Looks pretty sexy!!!

Great job, grind turned out very well. Scales are a wonderful pattern as well.

Very nice grind on that.

You should be proud, that is a very fine looking razor. :tu

Superb work. Great looking scales.

very nice (end) result!

Congratulations on a job well done, and a very beautiful razor that probably shaves like a dream.

Excellent work.
An interesting combination of colors, unusual.
In the photo I pointed out problematic for sharpening, in my opinion, the place. Maybe a little grind off?

I think it was a poor quality picture on my part. The stabilizer is ground even with the edge. It wasn't any issue in honing.

That is one of the finest shapes of razor I have seen in a while. Respect for grinding something that large, that thin.
Paua is totally finishing the razor. Sincere compliments. I wish I could test-drive that one. :)
