    Default Custom 8/8+ Barber's Notch in Forrest Green/Jade Ghost G10

    Finished this one up last night. Steel is 1084 and the razor measures a little over 8/8 wide. Scales are Forrest Green/Jade Ghost layered G10, but the pictures don't show the true colors so well. Wedge is red/black recon stone. Honed this up to an escher edge and compared to the other I recently finished on my Ozuku. Much preferred the JNat edge and will probably take this one to that tonight.

    Another one? You've been busy

    This one looks even better than the last one IMO!

    Thanks - there was a third in this batch, but there was some errors in stamping so I trashed it (working on a better solution to this at the moment). I think it will be easier to do these in batches of 3 so that I can grind and heat treat them all at the same time.

    Thanks - it is shave ready, but I preferred the edge finished on a JNat of my other one recently as it is a little more smooth.

    You have a style that's certainly all your own, another great looking razor.

    Cool! Did you have them all cut out with a water jet or are they cut out by hand?

    Thanks! I rough cut the blanks with a metal cutting band saw and shape with a belt grinder. The groves were cut by hand filing.
