How long is the cutting edge on this one? I have a hard time figuring out the scale on this one, maybe it's due to the thicker wrapped handle.
Either way, your making some great stuff and pushing the boundaries.

I always wanted one too. I ended up finding one in Baghdad of all places. How about that?

Charlie, I missed your Estwing reference when i made mine & i've only spotted it now that Ditch Doc quoted you. It was the first thing that struck me about it though!

I use the dished area as a finger hold, I did it for design also. Originally Posted by propjockey

The cuting edge is 2" long. Originally Posted by dkapp

It was meant as a compliment mate. You're not taken completely seriously here as a carpenter unless you possess an Estwing hammer! Mine's not got the leather grip though.

Well, I just came home, and ChrisL was on Skype so we chatted. The first thing he mentions is have I seen Charlies newest razor? He then sent me a link......
Wow! That is really cool! Great stuff Charlie!

Wow Charlie. That one rocks.
Beautiful lines & angles. The leather grip is a nice touch too.
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
