    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?

    The razor is very cool.

    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.

    The cuting edge is 2" long.

    I will take that as a compliment I think the Eastwing hammers are beautiful tools.

    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.
