15/16 Modified Spanish Point Custom in Silver Twill G10
Finished this one up last night. It is a slightly larger than 15/16 smiling edge modified spanish point. Not sure what to call the point, but I really like it and will do more like it in the future. The razor is made out of CruForgeV, which is similar to 10XX steel, but has added vanadium in it to make edge longevity better. I'll say it is a fair bit harder than 10XX steel that I've worked with and the file work alone took 1.5-2 times as long as it would take on 10XX. It was made specially for knife makers, but I must say it took a very nice edge on a razor. Heat treat is pretty much the same as 1084. The razor has a mirror finish on the spine and tang and the blade is more a satin mirror finish.
The scales are made from silver twill G10 with a yellow/black recon stone wedge. Sits in the pivot with adjustable torx screws. I really like how this one came out.
Thanks for looking!
Joe

Nice one Joe. I especially like what you did with the wedge and really appreciate someone who can make something truly their own like you did with that point.

Well Joe you've created an absolute Gem, beautiful looking razor, i've said it once before, your work as a sculptural aspect about it, not just functional, even if you had no interest in straight razors this razor is certainly something you would want to look at.

That is awesome, great job. Where do you purchase materials such as the G10 and the steel that you used?
