Custom Titanium and Elmax Stainless 6/8
Hello,
It has certainly been a busy summer for me. I have had little time to work on some of the things I love to do, such as building razors :) I did spend some time on a few custom knife folder projects but mostly just the art of living.
Anyway, this recent shop build is one that I just let happen. It is often said that less is more and I would have to agree as it pertains to straight razor embellishments, but I could not help myself here. Got carried away with both the drill press and file work. Nothing too complex, just alot of it. :)
The blade is 6/8+ with a 1/4 hollow and made from Elmax, a third generation powder stainless steel. The scales are Titanium with stainless fasteners. Washers are brass. Weight is a well balanced 2.1 oz. Prolly could leave this thing laying outside in the front yard for a year and see very little patina :) (Not recommended, just a thought)
I shaved a full beard off with it this evening and was very impressed. Takes a very good edge and very stable in thin sections.
Thanks for looking,
Best Regards Ken
