8/8 Full Hollow

**Jared13** · 01-14-2018, 11:56 AM

I have been really working on hollow grinding as it really pushes me and challenges me to take my time and in the end I am a sucker for a nice big hollow ground straight. There is just something about it. I find myself with really nice razor in the early stages of post heat treat grinding with a nice even bevel and spine. I typically think "wow this is a nice razor, I should just finish it, but man it would look over the top with a nice fuller grind". And so that pain in a** little guy that sits on my shoulder usually wins the argument and off to the progression of smaller and smaller wheels I go. This is probably the largest razor I have made with grinding this hollow. It really turned out great and I am very proud of it. The edge was fantastic as well. It surprises me how lite it is. When I look at it it obviously looks large and to me heavy, but because of the grind and the weight of the ALVS, it is like a feather in the hand. Anyway I hope everyone enjoys the pics. Feedback and comments are always welcome. Thanks! -Jared H.

The specs:
Steel: O1
Width: 8/8
Grind: Full hollow
Scales: Gold MOP ALVS
Wedge: Gold acrylic

Well done on that grind, must be a real nail biter going that thin.

Great looking razor!

I have to second what outback said, for a razor that large, it must be quite the challenge to get it to a full hollow

Beautifully done !

Nice to see you challenging yourself and producing a beautiful razor all at the same time. A real win win.

Love full and extra hollow ground razors and that looks very good to me. Well done.

Very nice reminds of a 14 blank, good work.

**Jared13** · 01-14-2018, 08:27 PM

Thank you for your compliment. I'm not sure what a 14 blank is but I'm assuming you referring to a razor blank of sorts.
