Thread: A little Sumthin' Extre

Sum-Extre 7/8. I had recieved another one of these a couple weeks back, and cracked the blade while sanding it. This one came from the same source (thanks Zeth!), and was nice and shiny to begin with, a couple of small tarnishy spots, but I'm not sweating them.

Added the obligatory thumbnotch, as the maker's mark provided the template.

Re-beveled the tip into something I thought was a little more interesting. This razor has class, and it didn't seem right to put a Frenchy, nor Spanish, nor any other kind of point on there, so I left it be.

I had previously made the Paduak scales for another razor, but they didn't seem "right" for it, so they'd been sitting around a while. I think they just found their new home!

This is an extremely finely ground double hollow. It's also my first square point.



I will be easing the tip a touch when I hone it! "Cause I'm a scardy-cat like that!

Fascinating razor. Don't see many quite like that.

As always,
very nice and meticulous work.

'Round these parts, you do!




Too bad I trashed one...


The other one is branded "Apollo", but it is the exact same worked back.

Takes a nice edge, with no surprises. Seems like nice steel!

That is truly great work there. keep it up, as I'll be looking forward to more razor porn!
