    Default 7/8s, 1095 One Piece Razor

    The blade on this one piece razor is about 2 3/8s x 7/8s. The blade was forged from a piece of 1095. I used clay when I quenched the blade to get the hamon. The tang and spine have been textured.

    I like long tails and I can not lie...

    I really like this one Charlie. The way that you textured the spine and tang completely appeals to my need for symmetry.

    You never cease to amaze with your work Charlie! I'm sure I've said that before but it rings true with every new piece you bring forth. Great work!

    It's beautiful. You take chunks of metal and turn them into functional art. Great work.

    Charlie,

    How does adding clay during the quench create the Hamon? I've read a little about adding clay during tempering, but not quenching? I'm not a knifemaker or anything, I'm just curious.

    BTW: The razor is very beautiful.

    Michael
