That's big monster!. It's got Bob Allman written all over it. What's with the mystery steel? LOL Did you just eyeball heat treat it? Excellent as always!

If I would have had that one, during Hurricane Andrew; I wouldn't have needed to buy a chain saw.

She beautiful!!

What's with the mystery steel? LOL Did you just eyeball heat treat it?

Last batch of steel I got from the Baron I ordered 16 pieces of steel (1 1/2 x 6 x 1/4) which he advertised as Damascus. It was only about $25 for the lot. I knew too cheap to be true but why not gamble. Well it is not Damascus and was otherwise unmarked. I think it is 1084 to make Damascus but maybe I'll never know. I heat treat like 1095. On a finished blade it has a pretty good edge but does not seem to me as good or as hard as 1095. I have 2 more blades all done and heat treated etc except for the final grind and polish. I am considering giving them away to someone who wants to practice their grinding skills. Maybe the real mystery is what I am going to do with the other 12 pieces I have left.

There must be something in the water in Texas. So many great craftsmen in many areas are there. The rest of us can be jealous and/or grateful.
Beautiful, beautiful work, Bob.

Big blade, detailed jimp placements, looks anxious when closed-horrible...that I'll never get to hold and shave it. Whaaaa

Classic style right thurr... but it needs the "For Barbers Use" etch on the blade

Bob, I don't have the words in my vocabulary to say how nice that looks...

Very nice razor as always, but the truth is that I couldn't shave with it. I would smile the whole time seeing that beautiful razor in the mirror.
