    That looks good enough to be a Charlie Lewis!

    Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

    I twisted it then hammered it flat on the anvil. I also had to do a bit of persuading with a big vise, big wrench, and a blow torch after heat treat.

    Well, I guess I'm glad to hear that something that turned out so pretty took a little effort. I was fairly sure that you didn't just twist and eyeball it into position!

    Encore maestro!

    Great work Charlie! I love the twist and I love the juxtaposition between the curved scales and the straight blade. Lovely!

    That is a great looking razor. Reminds me of an old tune Twist and Shout.
