'The Count' - In some home made threads

[Str8Raz0r]

'The Count' is a Richard Herder blade that I was given. The blade was a round point, had some chips out of it and the scales were held together with a piece of sticking plaster.

I used Undream's method to 'sand' the chips out of the blade, and gave her a french point.

Used 120 grit through to 2000 grit on the blade and finished with some Mothers metal polish.

I wanted a 'textured' look with some attitude and so I made some micarta (see the wiki for the method). The original material before any shaping was 15 layers of cotton drill and canvas.

Anyway, the pins are brass with single stainless washers and the wedge is aluminium.

I haven't set the bevel and honed it up yet, will let you know how it shaves when I've done that.

Thanks for looking.

Be honest guys..........just not too brutal
