Thread: Apocalypse Now

Want to show two really huge Meat-Choppers from filesteel. The blades are 11/8 and the razors are 150 gramm heavy. One is with black-white ebony and a mammoth-ivory wedge, the other with macasar ebony and a bufallo horn wedge. The Horstator razor in the middle is a 5/8 to show the dimension better.

Holy moly those are huge! Can I see a pic of one of them in hand? You did great work by the way. The scales are verry good looking, and the razors awesome!

Brilliant! I love huge razors, and these are no exception. The scales are also stunning

Fantastic looking razors!! Mr Gunkel at his best. That reminds me, I won a gorgeous original Buddel With maple wood scales (Fine Razors - Buddel Razor with stabilizised maple wood) on Fleabay a few weeks back that I need to put to the hones.

Looking at those monsters makes me proud to be part of the Buddel Club!

Wow, my heart skips a beat, functional but also sculptural works of Art.

Jamie.

They are beautiful.

While waaaaay to large for me, those things are AWESOME. The files must have been huge! Nice Job!
This thread reminds me of a quote from Col. Walter E. Kurtz in the movie, Apocalypse Now.


"I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. It's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor … and surviving."

Wow! Those are like the claymores of the razor world! Scary and beautiful.

Thank you all. Yes, here are two pics with the razor in the hand. My handsize is between middle and large at gloves

That's impressive! But for me it isn't just the scale of the things - they both have very elegant designs.
