15/16 Smiling Edge Custom in Hunter Orange G10

**Joe Edson** · 03-13-2012, 02:51 PM

Finished this one up last night. It is a smaller blade with a 2.5" cutting edge made from 1084. Barber's notch/spanish point and I was playing around with some new things on the spine at the toe. This one really didn't start out with any set plans and I just kind of went with things as they came to mind. Satin blade finish and mirror spine and tang.

Scales are hunter orange G10 "poly peel" with a medium texture. This is some new stuff I haven't worked with before that comes with a plastic peel off top that leaves an even textured pattern behind. Wedge is made of toxic green G10 pinned with Ni/Ag rod and stacked stainless and brass washers. The pivot pin uses adjustable torx screws.

I like the smaller cutting edge as it seems more maneuverable on the face. Razor is finished on an Ozuku Asagi and took a very smooth edge.

Wow very nice! I am always impressed with your work and style. Does the dropped nose make honing difficult?

I was worried about that the whole time while making this as this was a test razor for that point. With a layer of tape over the spine it honed right up with no problems whatsoever.

There'a something quite sculptural about your work, I always enjoy looking at your razors, very well done, nice colour touch with the lime green and orange, the opposite end of the colour spectrum.

Beautiful flow and design, and great eye candy! I'm continually amazed by, and envious of the talent and craftsmanship on exhibit by the custom razor makers of this forum...
