Max, I'll take one of these when you get a minute.

It really is a very cool experience. If you look closely, you can see blood on his hands from grinding steel on those monster machines. It's extremely difficult handling/grinding red hot steel let alone forming it into a piece of art. Gotta give all of you razor makers credit.
Great pics by the way but you cannot appreciate the process unless you actually see it in person. It's fun seeing all the sparks fly tho

If you are grinding red hot steel, you're doing it wrong
