Custom 12/8 A2 Buffalo Horn

Hello All !

Just finished this custom 12/8 by request. I know, its huge, but you only live once right? lol

Hand forged to general shape along with stock removal.

High Buff Buffalo Horn Scales

Front pin was a little tricky. I had some old military cuff buttons (I think WW2) in my coffee can. I disassembled the back portion and mortise inlaid the emblem and pinned the scales and wedge underneath.

Decided to increase the spine width on this one to 5/16 then tapered to the tail. Tightened the upper radius of the hollow grind to shed some weight. Surprisingly agile for its size.

In the last razor I had a request for some forging pics. I managed to get a few taken and threw them in, nothing spectacular.

Let me know what you think, I do appreciate your feedback!

One word comes to mind. Precision. Very nicely done!

Great, great, great work. What a pleasure to see the steps. Many thanks for this "private" viewing. And I echo the comments about using the WWII seal. Very cool.

Well, yeah, I guess it is alright. I'm not a fan of big razors, but otherwise it looks ok.. :w

Seriously, what a razor! It pushes all my RAD buttons. Fine work, Sir, fine work!
