I like this one too. The bead blasted scales are cool.

Thank you guys for the kind words. SRP is a supportive/encouraging place.

!! How did you get her this hollow (and evenly so)?

Here is a thread where I talked about this blade.

http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...ct-wheels.html

I basically grind like I shave, whatever I do with my left hand I try to do the same with right. I grind one side of the blade with one hand and the other with the other hand. I am constantly flipping back and forth trying to keep things even. This blade took a lot of hand sanding to smooth out grinding ridges and get ready for the buffer.

I hollow grind the way that Bob Allman taught me.

Great razor. Love the hollow grind.

Forging is very addictive, be carefull there is no known cure.

Yikes - with 2 spike points it could cut my jaw and my earlobe simultaneously

Joking aside, it looks serious, strict, and a lot of fun. Definitely a razor with a personality. The scales look great and seem surprisingly small for such a large blade. Brilliant job, thanks for posting.

Holy crap.

That thing has some aggressive elegance!!
Very nice, wicked design and awesome grind.

That blade is like a supermodel. Gorgeous, and look at from a certain angle, almost disappears cause so thin. Beautiful grind, love how "razor thin" it is (sorry, best description.)

The satin finish on the G10 is a good look too.

Good looking razor Charlie, and a super job on that hollow grind. A+++++++++++
