Semi Custom - LRH Blade Blank

So, I think most of you know about Butch's blade blank project. If not search the forums, you will find it. Anyways, I had him grind me up one of these bad boys and when it arrived I was just shocked at how big of a blade it is. It is absolutely massive. Truly Awesome. It is over 7/8" Wedge with a 3" long cutting edge.

So, this thing is not traditionally shaped, which I love, so I wanted to do some very non-traditional scales and here is what I came up with. Blue Paua/Acrylic with black backing and a Pearl Acrylic Wedge.

Stunning combination!

A LRH worthy rescale.

Way to go Russell.

Awesome. Beautiful scales, and very very original!

love it
and if need be i can work the edge closer for you didnt know i left its as thick as i did

Thanks Butch. It's thick but I am getting through it.

That is mighty pretty. I got one of Butch's ball bearing steel ... I think it is 5100 steel ? Flawless workmanship and shaves like a dream. Looks to me like the same blade profile. The man knows how to make a razor.

the steel is 52100 ball bearing steel it an extra fine grain high carbon steel

Awesome scales!!!!


And razor!

Very nice! Could you show a picture of the razor closed?

Here you go. The best one i could find real quick.
