Custom Blade from old Sheffield file
This is a blade I just finished using a very Old Sheffield file, The file was a monster a 1/4 inch thick and 1 1/2 inches wide I was inspired by our very own Grant AKA baldy, the razor spec's are as follows, 8/8 french point full true wedge. I will probably use the razor as a Kamisori type, It's a fair old lump of steel weighing 2 1/2 oz, I placed it along side one of my 6/8 so you can get a scale for the razor.
