Thread: Fresh off the bench

I just finished this razor yesterday. I tried out some file work on the spine and really like how it turned out. The detail are:

Steel: O1 from NJ Steel Baron
Width: 7/8
Grind: 1/2 Hollow
Scales: Cocobolo with brass wedge

I bought some new belts from pops knife supple (Hermes belts) because I wanted something that I could use wet sanding with on the grinder. I had a ton of issues with them separating at the joint. I bought them specifically for wet sanding and I love their scratch pattern (nice and even) but was a bit frustrated with how them failed to last 20 mins when they got wet. Anybody with any insight into this issue feel free to chime in. I am still on the search for a belt to use for wet sanding on the grinder so any advice with that would be greatly appreciated. Also as always and comments, critiques, opinions..etc regarding the razor are always appreciated.

Thanks!!
