Mini Frame Back and WIP

I wanted to test the niolox (stainless steel with niobium) to make straight razor and i had only 3.2 steel bar.
I choosed to make a modern frame back to test.




I brocke the blade during the quench but as i don't intend to waste steel, i did something a bit shorter. 4 cm sharp, the shaving is OK and that is great to shave other part than the beard

I must admit I love the cute size... looks like a very specific use tool. Are your scales partially blue steel?

The handle and the blade scale are titanium, heat anodized.
