13/16 Western kamisori with orange wrap
I tried my hand at a western grind kamisori recently, here is the outcome :)
Steel is O1 at 60-61HRC, grind is quater hollow, and the wrapping is orange waxed cord, with some epoxi glue underneath for water protection.
I will be making some more in the future, this was was really fun to make. She shaves well, and handles very nicely with a cutting edge length of 57mm's.
Let me know how you like it, I welcome any positive or negative comments! :)

Is it hollow on both sides?
Looks like a nice clean piece.
