Big Red & lil red

Here are two razors that I finished up today.

The frameback is about an 8/8s made of wrought iron and O1 with red g10 scales. I like the way the wrought iron looks, it nearly looks like it has a wood grain.

The little one is a 5/8s, was forged from 1084 it also has red g10 scales. It is somewhat modeled after one of holli4pirating's Greaves razors that I saw at the MN meet.

They are both great pieces but there's something about that frameback that calls to me.
Great job.

Great work, as always Charlie.
I really like the blade profile of "lil red".

Love the wrought iron, Charlie and I love those curvy lines to your razors.
This is influencing one blade I have on the go at the moment.
Are you still epoxying the blades into the frames?
:D

I like the curves of the lil one but I kept scrolling back up for another look at the frame back. Nice work.

The blade is soldered into the frame, I have not used epoxy since I made the first few prototypes. I started soldering the blades in on my fourth frameback.
