Thread: 8/8s 1095 Hamon & Maple Burl

An astonishing looker you've created there, Charlie. I love that hamon and smiling profile. Congrats, sir!

Wow! Just wow! Beautiful in both conception and execution.

I love the scales! Great looking razor!

This hamon is perfect.

Did you polish it or chemically revealed it ?

I used pumice and hot vinegar and lemon juice on the hamon. I put the whole blade in ferric chloride before starting on the hamon.

Thanks Charlie, the razor is really lovely !

Beautiful scales on this one Charlie, and that is a super cool hamon pattern

Great stuff Charlie.
Love the contrasts.
When you used stabilised wood for the scales, do you still get scales that flew when opening and closing the razor? Or do you need to change the design to a non-flex one?

When the stabilized wood is at scale thickness it is pretty flexible I make the scales normally with a sight taper to the wedge.

Man just beautiful stuff. I wish I had the skill and the artfulness.
