    Default Custom 10/8 Blond Longhorn Big Smiler

    Hey Fellas,

    Here is a neat one that I finished up last evening. Its dressed in blond Texas longhorn with tail overlay. Some pretty nice streaking. Its a big smiler at 10/8. Used O1 for the blade steel, domed and stacked the washers for the front pin. Used a combination of stainless and brass.

    The tail is pinned also in stainless and brass. Removable hex head on the pivot. The finish is bright satin with a nice half hollow grind.

    This one took some time since I boiled down and pressed the horn myself. BTW, I do this in the shop with my camp stove... not my wife's kitchen. hehe

    Anyway, thanks for looking !

    Best Regards Kenny

    Wow what a fantastic razor! All the extra effort with the longhorn was well worth it. Top notch.

    That's beautiful!And the huge smile on the blade looks like it would work great on my throat in a vertical ATG pass.
