Thread: grippy

There are at least two SRP moments that I will always remember. One was the post by Philadelph when he went to the factory to pick up his Bader grinder, and the other is holding in my hand the first razor that Spazola ever made. It was made from a saw blade and he sent it to Mike Blue for testing. Mike showed it to us at the MN meetup two years ago and as requested, Miked tested it and broke it in half.

Both of these people have demonstrated extreme levels of both artistic and technical skills that have flat out blossomed in the past two years. I feel privileged that I have been able to follow their amazing rates of progression from simple experimentation to absolutely skillful artistry.

Thank you Utopian,

I have learned a great deal at SRP, and am still learning new things all of the time. We are all learning from the exchange of ideas that happens on this forum.

Love the blade Charlie.... you do good work. How did you cap the pivot pin? I like what you did with the grip as well.
I wish you had posted a pic with the blade closed... I'll bet the profile is great.

The domed washer is a solid nickel silver washer with a 1/16 hole through it. The hole has a slight counter sink on the top of it. I peen rod then file/sand it smooth. The washer was made on a little sherline lathe.

Charlie, that extra room on the spine above the hollowing looks awesome. It reminds me of a really old regrind.

Charlie,
You continue to amaze me. A very effective addition to a razor which would not have been apparent to anyone else! Well DOne!

There's gonna be a waiting line for this one!

I like it. A matching wedge for the scales would make it perfect in my mind.

Really nice work Charlie! Ones can appreciate the technical and and also the creativity in your razors.
