spalted wedgie
Here is my latest razor, it is made of 1084. The scales are a mystery spalted/burl that Randy Tuttle gave me. The finish is shellac. It has a vinegar patina.
I ground the hollow on my 1X42 tool sharpener with a round platen. I hacksawed and filed the rest. I heat treated with a one brick forge and a toaster oven.
The razor shaves well. I used a double bevel, finishing on a Chinese 12k and tin oxide denim covered bench strop.

Purty Charlie, form and function. Well done.
