This razor is a 6/8s 1/2 hollow, the blade is O1 the scales are g10. It was forged then ground. This razor started life as a big 7/8s but I chipped the blade when it caught on a scothbrite belt. I decided to go ahead and finish it and have a little fun with it. I am happy with it now.

Hello, Charlie:
There is something dashing about your razor. Maybe it's the way the blade flashes that sweeping and confident smile. Good work.
Regards,

Beautiful Charlie. Simply beautiful :)
I really love the tang! Too bad about the chip, but to tell the truth, it is nice to see a custom blade in this size! Worked out GREAT! Scales, fit and finish are super!:tu
The tang is wayyyy cool Charlie! I'm sure it scared the living hell out of you when it got belt snatched. Glad it didn't do any physical damage. Keep up the excellent work.
Very original as always Charlie. Another beautiful creation.

Way nice Charlie! I love the flow of that complete razor.
Charlie,
Wowwwwww :dropjaw:!!! Check out that tang. I love the funky, retro look:tu. Superbly done and executed :bow.
Glad only the razor got chipped :) Looks great !
Is the tang hammered ? it kinda looks jewelled... or maybe rajazzled , hehe.
The detail work on this razor is exquisite, especially on the tang :bow: Great job!

This may be one of my fav's of yours so far!
Love the flow and exp. the work on the tang.
Excellent!!
This razor is da bomb. Charlie's workmanship is outstanding! (not counting the eighth of an inch that went missing!)
Loving your work as always, Charlie, even the "damaged goods" if anyone dares to call her that. ;)
That razor has some class! :)
I like the polished circles on the tang Charlie. How did you do those? They look fantastic. Well done on the whole package.

I've seen engine turnings on a Kees Speedster, but that tang is one small canvas. Gorgeous effect.
I used a cup shaped wire brush (dremel tool) and vaseline mixed with loose abrasive for the abrasive. I used in my drill press to do it.Quote:

I love the engine turning. My Grandpa used to have a classic car with it on panels of the dashboard and I always loved it.
I was going to say this would look good in the hand of a motor head... VVRRROOOOMMMMMMM! :nj
