Thread: yet another from Australia

Okay - nearly done for tonight.
This one is CPMS30V again. Yeah - i had a batch. Like it for knives okay, but probably will not make anymore razors out of it. It is just so hard to work and these took me hours on hones. Still not entirely happy with shave, and am working on determining if it is the steel or just me.
i find the Swedish RWL34 powder steel to be outstanding in finish and edge and far easier to work, but sometimes you just have to experiment a bit.
Anyhoo, this is a 6/8 smiling sway back wedge with stub tail tang, Dymonwood "Cocobolo" scales and wedge, 1/4 inch mosaic "sundial" pins and a torx pivot.

I like this although I'm not too sure about the transition between edge and thumb notch. It seems to make the blade a little longer then necessary that said I am only looking at pictures while you have the real thing so maybe my perspective is just off.

Love the smile on this one Adam. You have been a very busy boy. You just want to show off on Saturday .
