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.

Beautiful work Jamie! She is mighty fine! How does she shave?

That's amazing how we as individuals can turn a old file into a work of art I bow before you

That is some great work you did with that file. It is a beauty of a razor.

How do Tom, I haven't yet shaved with the razor, but there's no reason other than getting use to the size and weight as to why she shouldn't shave very well, this blade was more of an exercise rather than a razor I wanted for myself, still I learn't quite a lot from this.

Cheers Jamie.

Very nice piece of steel..looks like it well whack whiskers no problem..that would be a great addition once it gets scaled up.. Very nice and thanks for sharing.
Very talented!

Absolutely beautiful. I'll bet it would be even more stunning in a nice set of custom scales.
