Thread: Custom 8/8 Crab Apple Burl Double Shoulder

Hello Everyone,

Here is a custom razor that I just finished up for one of our members. Shooting for something refined and perhaps a little old school. Scales are aged Crab Apple Burl. I had this burl for years and just got around to making some cuts. Needless to say, I was so very pleased with its figure. Very hard and very stable even in thin sections. Added some brass tail insert accents and made the front stainless/brass combo mosaic pin. Steel is O1 with my version of a modest patina. Grind is classic double shoulder with a hollow greater than 1/4 but short of 1/2.

Have a good weekend!

That burl is a work of art standing alone! Amazing work Ken as are all of your razors. Wow!

Gorgeous!!! I want some of that wood, WOW!

I like the brass accents in the monkey tail.

You have to tell me how you made the mosaic pin. I'm jealous.

Beautiful. Ken, I love your work.

That is a beauty the metal and the wood go together very well.

you sir are an artist! I love it, no other thoughts lol.

that is splendid. the design is just my style (though I'm not a fan of the tang but that's a personal thing. it's still pretty awesome). is that a hex fastener in the pivot?

Very Nice Ken! Good clean work. I like the three pin inserts in the tail. That adds a nice touch of detail.

Crabapple huh?
That piece has some ridiculous grain in it !
It's a truly gorgeous cut from that burl.
The blade is excellent as well. I kinda like the traditional stabilizers like that.
Nice!

Simply stunning, sir! I don't know where to begin. That's quite possibly the razor of my dreams since I have no recall of dreams upon awaking.
