Thread: Been too long away,new prototype just finished

Guys,
Thank you so much for the kind words.
Both ian and myself tend to do all our knives following the late legend Bob Loveless, simply nothing added if its not needed.
I do believe simple and uncluttered can out way the fancy designs.
I really love the beautiful elegant razors out there, to me a true reflection of the craftsmanship and skill it has took an individual to gain over their time.
As far as custom straight razor making goes we have a long way to go, but a vast arsenal of information and help from u experts.
So fun times ahead.
Really appreciate all comments.
Take care,
Brian

Hello there,
Thanks for taking the time to look and reply.
A confession to be made, it is actually mirror finish, but for some reason as soon as we got it in the light box the pics came out Dull
Here was the blade up to about 1200 grit before the final buffer polish.

Mind u now you mention the satin look, and it may be to some people's likings...why not try the next one satin
Cheers again,
Brian

yeah that first pic fooled me! I think one in satin and one in mirror finish would get the most people attracted
