Thread: rough little razor

That's just next level, nuff said!

Once again you have hit one out of the ballpark. I tried to copy a "Purist" and failed, now I've got another to try to imitate...

How thick was the w-2?

Thank you guys for the kind words and encouragement.

Yes, those are chisel marks on the tang.

The W2 was 1/4 inch stock.

That is freaking awesome! Is that a Hamon line in the middle?

Yes, it is a hamon or temper line. I coated the back and most of the handle with clay during heat treat.

I reckon it's going to be hard to stick with only two Charlie Lewis razors in the collection if you keep making things like that.

Beautiful work.

Very cool Charlie! I've never seen or heard of a hamon line, but I definitely LOVE it!

Thanks Charlie - I was wondering how you would go about that with a Forge.

Another piece of beautiful craftsmanship all the way around Charlie. Very nice!

Yes sir, I do like that hamon!!! Fine work indeed.
