Here is a blade I finished the blade is 75 layers of 1095 & 15n20. The blade is about 15/16 wide. The scales are white micarta, it is actually old Westing House micarta. I usually use micarta as a generic term like xerox, I just thought it was interesting to use the brand name stuff. I am easily interested.

I like it Charlie. The white micarta really makes the patterned steel "pop".
That looks very cool - love the shape!

Charlie, that razor is magnificent. I really like what you did with texture on the tang. Was it hand hammered?
The tang and spine were textured with a die grinder. The razor was forged to shape then after rough grinding and heat-treating, I textured the tang and spine with a die grinder.Quote:

Love it Charlie. The micarta is really nice, and the rough finish compliments the Damascus pattern perfectly.

WOW :) I am speechless!!!
Charlie that is just a great combination of materials and your unique vision as a craftsman. Someone is going to add
a work of art to their rotations. Nice!
That's beautiful. I love the battle-axe shape to the blade.
Wow, I just showed my wife the pics of your razor and she said, and I quote, "It's beautiful". Now that's saying a lot! She usually looks at my shaving goods and says, "um, yeah." Strong work friend...it's amazing!
Thats a stunner Charlie, love the texture on the spine and tang.

What a fantastic looking razor, beautiful work, well done.
Jamie.
Simply WOW Charlie. Just beautiful, like a mini battle axe! :medvl:
Fantastic, as always, Charlie. I really like the texture with the Damascus. By the way, I have been practicing your "top of the wheel and go slow" method of grinding, and I really like it.

I too love the tang and spine texture. Do you suppose this could be achieved on a hardened razor?
Yes, I did the texturing on this one post heat-treat.Quote:
