I think they should end up a bit on the hollow side of 1/2 hollow (keeping fingers crossed) They check in at about 7/8 and I'm on a 3" wheel, so I should get a pretty good amount of hollow.

For some odd reason I keep hearing "Duh duh.....duh duh.....duh duh duh duh" in the background lol. Awesome work!

They look great!

Possibly shark skin scales?

They do look great. I like all three designs. Of course the shark will be a work of art.

Sounds like heat treating went extremely well. They should take a killer edge. 1095 is all I use. It's a little old school, but then so aren't straights.

You're right about the 3" wheel. You can get pretty hollow with that. I use a 2" to get to full hollow.

As previously stated, the hard part is over...let the fun begin!!!!!

you got my number?

Can you replicate these blades in the future? Or are these a one time deal?

Oh yea - looking really good. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Those are seriously awesome looking designs...the Jaws/shark one is real interesting. Careful as a shaver though. It may actually have a big bite .

Do you think the scales' design will affect its balance or does that matter. I would really love to see the finished product (and how it shaves). I am sure the it's going to be a nail biter waiting for this .

I like your design, nice work!
