    Default Third custom Red G10

    So this is my third attempt of making a custom made straight razor. I recently found out that my dad has G10 at his work so he gave me some samples and here is what i did with it. On one side of the tang it says "bengall" and the other says "sheffield" something. The wedge is "camel bone" dont know if its real, but the dust sure smells like bone :P. The other is just some scrap metal i had laying around. I have to say that I honed this baby up to shave ready in just 2 hours, it was amazing how fast it got sharp. Please feel free to ask or comment

    Take care!

    Your lined wedge is a nice touch. Looks classy.

    Nice work! I really like the wedge and the "gunstock" shape! Might be a bit thick, but surely looks solid! Old Bengalls shave GREAT! Really cool!

    I rest my case.
