Buffalo chopper custom
Greg Almond was down a couple weeks ago. Great guy by the way. This is the razor that I worked on while I was showing him all the various steps in razor meisterizing while he made his two.
It is just over 17/16's at the narrowest part of the swayback. The point is a rounded French point, if there is such a thing, with finger notches and jimps atop and jimps below. The grind is half hollow.
The finish on the blade is something new. First I put a mirror finish on it, then gave it a bath in ferric cloride. Finally I buffed that off with a softbuff and a no scratch rouge. Result: flawless near mirror finish.
Scales are water buffalo with hippo ivory wedge.
Steel is a little bit of a mistery as of now. Regardless, it took a killer edge.
As always, thanks for looking

That's a nice one Bob. The blade profile has a kind of prehistoric-dinosaur type look to me, which goes nicely with the exotic choices of scales materials.:tu:tu beautiful.

She turned out beautiful Bob! This weekend I'll get some of the pictures posted of her and the others at various points along the way. Thanks again for an awesome time!

Big Beefy Blade :medvl:! She's a beast and a stunner Bob, no surprise there though. Man I need to get another blade from you.

Yup ! I reckon you could chop up buffalo with that beast.
Awesome piece of blade art :tu

Holy shat! That thing looks wicked! Very nice work Bob :rock:

Wow, that's a heck of a razor. Given the size of the blade in profile it looks downright dainty, looks like it will be a joy to use hopefully the mystery steel it on par with the workmanship and overall quality of the rest of the razor.
