Looks great! I like the round to square spine feature. Where did you find the silver twill g-10, and can you give some additional details about the steel selection?

Very very nice work ,,, I love the tail and the Scale work is excellent

Super Stu. I can tell you spend lots of blood, sweat, tears and love into making it. What's the total weight of that beauty?

Thanks, I haven't shaved yet. I have set the bevel and she's popping arm hairs without a problem. I will be polishing the bevel tonight and hopefully have a great shave story tomorrow

Thank you.
The silver twill originally came from Masecraft. I purchased it from a fellow shaver here in Australia.
The steel is a 1.05% carbon, stainless steel. It is a powdered metallurgy steel and is really nice to work with. It is also 6 times the price as O1

. It has been hardened to approximately 61 HRC.

Hope this answers your questions.

Max, thanks for that. Your right lots of sweat and tears, thankfully not too much blood

and lots of love.
Total weight is 95g.

The Chosera 1k rocks, thanks for the good advice on that.

I think that looks just awesome. There's nothing about it that says it was your first.
