Mutant Hybrid #2

As soon as I shaved with my first one of these http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...ade-thing.html I started looking for the next one, I like it that much. The shortened Bengall with the pitting on the spine and bent tang issues in the back of the cupboard looked like a good choice.
I actually finished the blade for this months ago, but because I spent most of 2010 away from home I've only just finished it now. The old tang has been ground down to make a new slim tang which is sandwiched between the 2 piece acrylic handle. The blade has been re-shaped and blued and fixed in the handle with epoxy and a NiAg pin through the original pivot hole.
I've made some minor improvements on the original design and this thing feels great in the hands.
Hope you like it
Grant

sweet looking job there, and i really like the box a lot if ever interested in selling i might know a guy who knows a guy....

I've got a razor that I have been meaning to do this with for about a year and a half now. Maybe its time.....


Nice job btw. :beer2:

I really like it, Great Job!
The only problem is I don't know which I like better, the razor or the case.
Outstanding.

Nice work and beautifully designed case for the razor.

I don't like it. I LOVE it :tu. Very nicely done Grant . I like the blueing. Nice touch

You have a great eye for design, the razor and box look like a million bucks. The rough finish and knot on the box are genious. The razor has great lines.

Very nice baldy!! Razor looks mean and has a certain elegance to it at the same time. The custom case for it is absolutely beautiful as well! :tu

Thanks Charlie, that means a lot coming from you. I am a huge fan of your work. I'm sure your aware that the case is inspired by what I've seen on your site.

Excellent job Grant.

Really Nice! It gives a new meaning to the old, pitted blade! A truly inspirational Job! You have started something! Kudos!

Excellent work, love the box as well, it really makes the whole "package" complete!

AMAZING JOB GRANT! :bow:

I'm glad to see you back in your element and having fun :tu

Glenn

Really liking the Mutants!

Looks like it was a fun project, nice job

I love 'em, and to top it off I just honed it. Quickest hone job I've ever done:D

Yep, too bloody dangerous to leave lying around. Plus making the box is fun.

What is there to say about this that hasn't already been said above? Both the blade and the box look familiar. I know I'm ready to join the wait list for Mutants! And the box is absolutely stunning!

Grant, yer hooked Brother... Very Nicely done :tu

I am working on my first Bi-Bevel one soon... All I have done are the Micro-soris so far

I really like the box you made, I only wish I could do one half that good :) I think I see how you made it, I might give something a try on this next one... Trust me though, if it doesn't work out you'll never see it :D

Yep, I'm hooked. The plan was to make this one and maybe sell it, but now I have it in my hand I just dont want to. I'm saying to myself "maybe make one more and sell that one":gaah:
Apart from the fact that I think the rugged look of the box looks cool and suits the razor, it does allow a little extra tolerance for my lack of carpentry skills and tools:D
G.

Fantastic job Grant. Please dont me started on another addiction. Robert and Bill are feeding my new addiction for Vetiver.:w

Hmmm. You may sell it? :)

Seems like that would be really easy for a newbie to use, since they wouldn't have to worry about where the scales were.

Very nice work

Marvelous!!

I cant wait for this baby to arrive!!

Yes gents - I said arrive! :deal:

Great looking razor! shape is superb.

Awesome job Grant!!!, um I need one :)
