Thread: Seraphim Seramix (tm) razor in process...

that is pretty wicked looking.

would you even have to strop a ceramic blade?

As awesome as that is, I don't think it will need re-sharpening for years, I'd be afraid the edge would feel a tad harsh.

I wouldn't bother with stroping either, at least not untill it was tried for a while. I wouldn't think that there is and fin to straighten or smooth.

Beautiful ! What type of ceramics, zirconium oxide ?

I believe it's zirconium carbide, as it's the black stuff....supposedly tougher than the oxide.



No stropping. It seems that stropping can lead to microchipping in my limited experiments here.And there will be nocorrosion to overcome either.

I think I'll have to refine the edge a bit more before giving this a test shave...I screwed around with the edge a bit too much, and developed some microchipping. I think I have to reset my double bevel to clean up the very edge.

This thing is eating my diamond lapping film for lunch!

yeah I bet it will eat up a film.

Is that a paring knife?

I'm constantly amazed by the obsessive ingenuity of guys here! Interested to see how this works for you.

I have 3 ceramic knives and have had some honing success with my DMT Diamond plates. I plan on going back to them to see if I can get them better. My ceramics have very little use because of the delicate nature of them. No bone cutting or use on hard surfaces. I have already broke the point off of one of them. I can't wait to see the results of your project.

I totally agree. It's inspiring to see your creativity at work. And I think this kind of functional creativity is pretty neat - making something that looks cool and does something - nothing better than that.

Why yes, it used to be a paring knife.

However, as shown here, paring knives can make excellent shavers!
