Why can't I stop looking at this razor ?

That is oh so nice! You really do have a good eye for design!

I agree... I have been back to look at it about a dozen times
Even emailed the link to a couple of other knife makers here...
They arent normally interested in razors... but they were both pretty taken by your design

Randy is right... you have a fantastic eye for it...

thanks for the info! Thats a fantastic lookin razor. I thought you ground the back on a belt, you really meant shaped with a file. Keep up the good work and keep taking pictures!

You should post a couple of pix over on the FrameBack Fanciers forum.

Some of those guys might not peep The Workshop very often.

I will take step by step pictures next time I make a razor. There are a lot more efficient ways of making a razor, but I will show you how I do it with the tools that I have. I have made two working razors and do not want to try passing my self off as an expert.

I can show you the way I heat treated, but I am less than a neophyte at it. There are others here who know a lot more than me. I followed Josh’s recommendations on heat treating.

I will post pictures in the razor clubs area when I get the button head screws installed.

Thanks

That is one FINE looking blade!

I'd gladly sell one of my girlfriends kidneys for it!

Even MORE reason for you to post.
People like myself who have NO experience with 'making a blade' will really appreciate hearing your impressions, and tricks that you have used to figure it out.

Others may chime in to give tips and short cuts, but what I like is the fact that you do NOT have the experience or propper tools and can kick out what you have!

DO tell when you get the chance......

Thanks!!

very cool looking

Seeing these, makes me want to make a steampunk razor. I am thinking brass frame, and say cherry scales.

Now if only I had time...
