Thread: WIP: Pete's second razor

After talking about the design for a while, this is happening. Pete is getting a second razor from me. I had a concept in my mind for a while now, and didn't have a customer to go with it I discussed it with Pete and he liked it so together we discussed the implementation of that concept.

The first thing to mention is that this will be made in wootz from Alfred Pendray. It took me a lot of wootz projects before I finally got the confidence to work with Alfred's steel. I had always hoped to be able to make a razor in his steel and then show it to Alfred himself. Sadly, that is no longer possible because he recently passed away.

This is the overall shape:



The locations indicated with R W and B will have red, white and blue gems (probably sapphires) set in yellow gold bands. The tail ends in a set of 2 prongs that will hold a yellow gold medallion with my makers mark on it.

For the scales we have settled on knobbly rams horn scales, possibly lined with titanium if that is required for structural reasons.

Wow Bruno you are really challenging yourself! I will be watching this thread with interest as it is right up my street! Ed.

Thats going to be another fine razor Bruno. Cant wait to watch the process again. You do fine work.

Looking forward to seeing this one as it progresses

Oh boy, Oh boy!!
The fun begins.
This one is going to be special...stay tuned
Thank you Bruno for "pushing the envelope."
