Mutant Hybrid #3 "The Darkness"
This one used to be a Birko Best 6/8 (Solingen).
The first 2 of these fixed blade razors I've made had 2 piece handles glued together around the tang, this time I made a solid 1 piece handle with a tang hole drilled down the middle similar to what Glen did a few months back. The handle is midnight acrylic, I love the stuff.
The blade was modded and then hand sanded. I then went to blue the blade, the unusual effect on the blade was unintentional, but I like it a lot.
This one is a little bigger than the earlier models, measuring just over 7.5 inches in length. It feels great in the hand and I have given it a test shave with a Coticule edge and it really impressed me.

I like it alot. It looks like a handmade custom especially with that odd effect you stumbled on.

Grant,
This is my favourite one of the three fixed blades you've done. I think it's really sleek and stylish, especially with the blade blueing that went slightly awry.
The box, with the knot in the top, really adds a nice dimension of rustic as well. Really nice work man....love the pics.
