Here is a 9/8s + razor, the blade is made up of a piece of 1095 sandwiched between to pieces of wrought iron. It is a big chunk of a blade. The scales are black G10. The wrought iron blank was made when I was visiting Dan Graves in Louisiana.

what in the world did you do to that G-10? :D
I'll let Charlie tell us for sure, but I'm going to guess a dremel. They look similar to his "experimenting with textures" razor in another thread.
Die grinder + pent up aggression + G10 = Gnarly scalesQuote:

Another cool looker Charlie! Fantastic work :)
This is really cool. Old technology blade, space age scales. Perfect marriage of old and new. Excellent! No end view, but I'm assuming it's a wedge.
Yes, it is a wedge, I wanted to keep as much of the iron as I could.Quote:

That one is right up my line. Really outstanding work Charlie!
Me too. It does not take a razor fashion guru to see that the ensemble works very well. It looks like an old rough and readyQuote:

Right on! I knew I should have picked up a chunk of the wrought that was being sold at the Guild of Metalsmiths Fall Madness! Now, where is that ad-------Quote:

Great razor! Don't drop it you will loose a toe. ...or something even more valuable...
Hey Charlie, you could etch that blade and make the grain/stringers in the wrought show up. It would look patterned but is really the grainy wrought all by itself.
Charley, it's beautiful. Great work man.
Gnarly Dude ! :rock:
Thought the scales were tree branches at first glance.;)
Wow cool blade, love the 'pre-loved' look!
Be still my beating heart, thats one beautiful razor :)
That has to be one very substantial combo in your hand. Just when I think the designers and fabricators have hit the wall, someone comes along and pulls a rabbit out of their hat. :dropjaw:
That is a cool razor!
Ditto, looks like rough tree bark.Quote:

Love the way you switch things up Charlie!! Great workmanship on this razor and I especially like the manner which you chose to finish the blade. Very antebellum !!!

Argh! Where do I get such iron?!? I am blacksmithing as well, but no razors at the moment.
Great work!
