    Yep, I annealed the file to soften it. Then ground and shaped, then hardened & tempered.

    Thanks for all the kind words boys.

    Very nice the way you worked the file effect into the spine and handle.

    Awesome work Grant.
    Looks magnificent and the box is also very nice work to complete the package. Is it Jarrah?
    Well done. Keep on rollin'.

    Close, It's actually just an old fence paling (probably pine) stained with Jarrah wood stain.

    Finally had a chance to browse this thread. One word: WOW...
    Grant, that is an amazing piece of work!
    I like the custom made box too. I think it must give a great feeling to shave with something that you created yourself.

    Awesome work. Very nice piece. I look forward to seeing your next razor. It has me chomping at the bit to do a one piece also. Maybe in the spring! Enjoy it!!
