9/8 Custom Black Horn " Desperado"

Well I just finished this one up for all us cowboys at heart. I call it Desperado, hehehe. I made the spur in the tail out of solid brass bar stock and just went to work shaping it. Yip, it spins just like a real spur and that is about its only use. :) Anyway, the scales are black buffalo horn with a front mosaic stainless and brass pin. Rear pivot is hex head stainless. Tried to make it look western down to the jimps. Added a little scale on the tail with some cross grain grind and some patina to the spur. The blade has a moderate smile. I'm calling it 9/8 but its 30.24 mm to be exact. I had this drawn out a while back and just decided it was time to try and get it done.

Thanks for looking!

Best Regards Kenny

Very nice, a spinning spur is a great touch.

Sweet looking razor! the spinning spur is cool as well, well executed!

Haha wow a spur! That's one cool looking razor. What kind of wedge?

Awesome as always Kenny. Now if you took one of your favourite boots and carved a slot on the back of the heel just so, maybe the razor could be carried there and the spur put to use......:p

You may include that razor in SOTD Gunfight at the OK carral theme shave, excellent work.

Jamie.

Inspired work as always Kenny. Any real cowboy would be happy to have that razor.
I can just hear the talk around the campfire...:cool:

Wow, that's one fantastic interpretation of a boot spur. I love your design, sir. Very well done indeed. :D

All I can say is YEEE HAWW!!! Man is that gorgeous.

Very cool Kenny! Beautiful work!

love the spur! makes me want to wear my boots for my next shave! nice work!

absolutely stunning!!!! that is truly a masterpiece in my eyes :)

Cool razor!

Very nicely done.

Next time you get in the spur mode, do a "gal leg" and maybe a wee tiny jingle bob. ;)

Thanks AndrewK! In this case I decided to use a Corian wedge, basically a synthetic solid surface material. Best Regards Ken

Yeh ... thats were the old days

Only took one trip to the emergency room to FINALLY convince me that my dad was correct when he said, "Son, there's only two things that'll get on a bull. Them being flies and fools. AND You ain't got no wings!"

Hate to admit it but Dad was right. ;)

Kenny, that's a mighty fine looking real man's razor.
