8/8 Spanish point, ebony scales

This is the biggest razor that I've done so far. The spine is a full 9/32", which doesn't seem like that much thicker than 1/4", but in actually it is noticeable.

Mirror finished tang and spine, ebony scales, black horn wedge, adjustable pivot, and (my favorite) decorative mosaic pin. :)

This is definitely one of my better razors, if not the best. The heat treatment came out really well, and the steel is harder than what I was getting from my forge treatments. I didn't have it tested, but I'd guess that it's comfortably above 60 RC by the way it honed. If the bevel wasn't pretty small it would have taken me forever to get it to take an edge. I had to keep going back to the DMT 600 to fine tune the bevel for little spots that would have taken 10 swipes on my DMT 1200.

The blade centers perfectly, which always warms my heart. :)

My new tools and some new tricks are paying off--very gratifying.

Understated but elegant nonetheless. Surprisingly I like it quit a bit!

Nice work!

Fantastic!! I actually have mosaic pin on order as I had a similar idea. I love how it turned out. Great work!!

verry verry pretty

Looks great Josh. I really like the Mosaic pin too. It adds a nice touch of eye candy.

Josh, that looks excellent.

I'm with you on that mosaic pin, it looks awesome.

Is that a new makers stamp on there as well?

Josh that is a stunning piece. The blade and scales are beautiful and the mosaic pin adds a special touch. Great job!

Gorgeous piece of work Josh. It's smooth lines and simple, clean dress give it a wonderfully refined style and class. Very well done!

Thanks, guys. I had fun with it, and when I shaved with it I had to fight the urge to keep it. :)

The maker's mark is the one I've been using for the last year or so. There haven't been that many razors in that timeframe, so it's still kinda new. :)

Got two more in the works of a similar design. Then I'll have to see what I can do about getting to work on some more forge-finished blades.

Josh

Gorgeous! I want one!

And it even shaves as good as it looks. :D
Thanks Josh, you made me a great razor!

Thanks, Otto. Really glad you like it. Resist the urge to fell large trees with it--the steel should hold a nice edge, but that might be pushing it. :)

Josh

When I hold this razor I would sing: Ahhhh, at last my arm is complete again!!!!
