Hey guys,
Last night i finished a kamisori style razor
6mm O1 tool steel (62HRC)
Quarter hollow grind
I use a 10" contact wheel and a trizact A16 as finishing belt.
Colored the spine with gun blue
Cord wraped handle
And holy crap its scary to grind a edge this thin

That does look very awesome, nice work
Looks good to me. Quarter hollow ain't anywhere near as thin as bellied hollows I have.

Yea, I get that and understand grinding a straight razor blade would come as a bit of a shock by comparison. Be sure and let us know how it shaves.Quote:

Nice work mate. Would love to have the ability and knowledge to make blades like this.
Thank you:D it isnt super hard. It takes a lot of time and practice, and watching A LOT of build videos on youtube! Lewis razors helped me big time. A great channel and razor maker!!Quote:

I'm really new to this so i know someone might have better advice than i have right now but i usually go with a 120 and super slow on the grinder applying more pressure in the area im trying to hit.... Another thing i do is check how thin the edge is, you want to be able to flex the edge by applying pressure with your nail and seeing if it flexs easily, thats when i know im getting thin enough... another way i check to see if the thickness is even is if the flex requires the same pressure....
like i said i am new to this so these are just theories and they work for me...
Nice razor, my friend. I would imagine its a pretty cool feeling to shave with one you've created.
