What a masterpiece! I especially liked the way the Tang and spine work, just a powerful looking piece of work. Bravo! Well done sir!
Some serious steel flows into the scales. All balanced perfectly together. : )
That's incredible. I WILL own something that manly one day.
Wow! Another one which looks like it is alive! Nicely Done, albeit scary!
Very nice as usual Charlie. That baby looks like it could leave a few nicks if one weren't careful.
Charles, you're gettin pretty good at this razor makin thing
Charlie,
A beautiful razor!. I love the texture on the tang. Just lovely.
That appears to be a one piece set of scales. Would you care to describe the process in making them?
The scales are three piece scale, wedge, and scale.
Charlie
Here is the wedge end.
