Custom 10/8 Blue G-10

Hello All,

I am a newer SRP member here in Iowa and this is my first time showing any of my custom razors. I have benefited to much through the generous advice and information in these forums. I can't thank everyone enough ! Little timid to post these among so many gifted craftsmen but thought it was time.

Just finished this one a few days ago. Blade is O1, pins are stainless. Blue G-10 scales with a white spacer.

I like shaving with these larger razors so this is what I tend to make. Although, this would be one of the largest that I have tackled.

I guess I would call this a 1/4 hollow but some folks may consider it close to half. Spine is 5/16 and scales are thin and sleek. Total weight is about 6 oz. Balance is good and tried to design it to be very maneuverable for such a monster. Just got done shaving with it this evening and it is silky smooth and very easy to move around.

I like to temper my blades on the hard side. Can't pinpoint the Rockwell since I don't have a tester, yet. Since I do all my own tempering I think it to be about 61-62. This just based on my limited experience.

Let me know what you think?

Best Regards Kenny

Looks awesome! A serious hunk o' razor!

Hey Thanks FiveOhNine !!

Looks great Kenny!
A little bigger then I would like to use, that being said it's a push for me to use a 8/8.
Like you said, you made what you liked and that's the most important!
Well done and I look forward to the next one.

I really appreciate you taking the time to have a look. Best Regards !

Many Thanks Charlie. Best Regards!

:medvl:Kenny that is one beautiful razor!!! I love the size and look of it. When do you start production for members? I want one!
It makes me humble looking at razors like what you and Glen make compared to my feeble restore work!:bow

Can't thank you enough for your kind remarks Paul. Hope to have some things available as the summer winds down. At the moment just trying to get used to all the ins and outs of this great forum. Sure am glad I took some time out to finally join up.

Best Regards! Kenny

What a looker! First impression was loving the huge blade, but other aspects like the humpback, notch and other details all contribute to a great looking razor

Much appreciated feedback. Best Regards!

Sensational work. A one of a kind masterpiece. Love the humpback.

I'll start the bidding at $350!

That is one fine hunka steel. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Very nice work. Great design and craftsmanship.:tu

Heavy solid shaving instrument. Good start.

A thing of beauty! Very nice work!

Great looking razor and it definitely looks no more than 1/4 hollow................

You custom makers amaze me. Literally, that is so beautiful - and I love Blue. I am a sucker for all things blue....:gaah: you should feel a great sense of pride in making that. And such flowing, undulatory lines! Wonderful!

Holy smokes that's a lot of steel! Incredible though.. I really like the look of it.

Another One I'll Need To Add To The I Want One List. Beautiful Looking Razor!!!!
