testing, 1,2,3,4,5 damascus straight

7/8 quarter hollow

herring bone damascus with solid core

wenge wood one piece handle

this the last for testing done by Max

I made 5 razors for testing, 3 damascus with solid edges, and 2 mono steel

4 of the razors have 1/4 hollow grinds and 1 has a 1/2 hollow grind

the steels used in the test are 1095cv, 1086v, L-3, 12C27, and O-1 (not in that order)

these alloys are pretty simple. We are looking for steels that respond well to honing and produce the smoothest shave.

The input from Max so far has been great. I've learned more about razors than steel. Thanks Max for doing the testing. I'm hoping the we can do a colaboration soon. Look out!!

Hoss, your work is stunning, every razor is like a sunrise for the craft.

Great work Hoss, A new star is shining brightly.

Very beautiful razor.
Have you considered selling them?

Too pretty for me to own so don't think of sending it to me. Noooo !!! I'm just kidding... You can send me any surplus razors anytime :)
Awesome work Hoss man !

I hate you Devin ;) - you make the razors, that I want to make. Your pattern welted steel make me crazy, every time again.

Your razors are all incredible. I don't think I've seen one that I wouldn't want to cherish yet.

Very nice Hoss although this particular pattern does nuttin for me. Is the razor one solid piece or have you welded the lower part of the blade to the damascus??

Thanks!
