Something different in G-10 Orange

**boballman** · 12-18-2009, 12:14 AM

Here's one with a little whimsey for the Holidays. As usual an 8/8's blade, VII on the hollow grind scale. Mirror finish(top of razor is mirror finish too, but is reflecting scratches in wax coating on wood). Scales are G-10 orange (burned up 3 metal cutting band saw blades cutting these scales, yet they sand really easily....Go figure). Wedge is blue G-10. Razor and scales full of matching sharp angles.

Thanks for looking
Happy Holidays

Bob

Understatement of the YEAR! Looks like I need to turn up a blade to do in hunter orange..... Awsome as always Bob, although that wedge pin placement reminds me of another razor

. Bob, you are true craftsmen and an outstanding person, I can not thank you enough for all that you have done for me. This world needs more people like you in it. Keep it up and keep sharing with us, a stout in your honor my friend

Strange, My G10 Hunter Orange cuts easier but is a pain to sand. lol

That's a monster combo. Very futuristic looking. Excellent job my friend.

Seeing as I'm not all fancy like with an electric saw and such

, I have had to resort to a hacksaw blade to cut all of my G10(just the blade people, not the whole saw, working out of town and don't have access to the tools I would at home), works fine, little tricky though... Power tools......that's just way too easy

Yea that's how we role!!! He isn't kidding. Last razor scales I cut were with a hacksaw blade by hand then I rough shaped them with a course grinding stone then after that the shaping was done with sandpaper by hand.

Man I miss my belt sander

Hah! I'm rescaling one of your blades for a guy and the blade is almost the same... the design I came up with is almost the same as well! Some differences here and there, but the way the tang fits the scale shape, etc. is almost identical!

Stephen, Phil, Max,

I have a 100 watt work light on my band saw. When I started cutting this stuff I literally saw sparks flying, even under the bright light. Then the teeth wore off until the blades were as smooth as grandma's gums. AMAZING!!!

Alex, I made 2 similar blades. One I sold to a very nice man who has a very sophisticated taste in his saving equipment. Do him justice.

I will also be interested in seeing your design.

Bob
