13/16 custom in Honey horn, Solingen style
Here is my latest work, a 13/16 straight in honey horn. I don't have too much time lately because of my exams, but I try to work a bit every day when I have a bit of time to spare
The steel is O1 at about 61-62HRC, it honed up really well, and shaves like a champ! The whole blade is mirror finished, it was very hard to make some pics without reflection. Scales are from honey colored horn, this was the first time I worked with it, but I liked it a lot. Sands easily, polishes well, and the color and translucency is very cool in personal. Pins are nickel-silver with SS washers, the wedge is made from bone. Here are the pics, please let me know how you like or dislike it!

Not much for me to dislike being a person of conservative tastes in razors. I would have that in my rotation and about the only thing I would have liked to have seen are jimps. Very good take on the classic look.

I like it.
It reminds me a little of the soviet made razors.
