Here is a razor that I finished up. The blade is forged 1095 it is a 7/8s 1/4 or 1/2 hollow. The scales are bead blasted jade colored g10.

Thanks!

I thought I didn't care for the jade G10, til now. And that blade is, as you know, the bees knees. If it's not the best thing since sliced bread, it's darn close.
Nice work Charlie, I especially like the fire scale and marks uniquely preserved on the tang and tail ! Best Regards Ken
Wow that heel is something else! More guillotine than straight!
Superb razor Charlie. The rugged, unrefined tang looks the part. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Nice looking blade, as always.

Your most valuable asset seems to be your persistence. You never give up and you always keep going forward. We love your creations. :beer1:

Nice one! It's very natural, very rough. It looks like hand sanding for the finish. What grit did you sand to before the etch? And what did you etch in, vinegar?
And finally, how thick is the spine? The blade looks almost flat ground, It must have been a large contact wheel.
Thanks for sharing :D

I sanded to 2000 grit before the etch. Yes, I did use vinegar for the etch. The spine is a hair less than a 1/4 inch. The blade is more hollow than it looks, It was ground on a 6" wheel.Quote:
