Thanks for looking Tony H

Hey Tony

Nice save on a fine razor. The only thing I find a bit jarring is the hole in the blade. Seems to be a fad imported from the knife crowd. Then again each to their own.

Bob

Thanks thought might have added something to the style but I know what you mean, did toy with the idea of plugging it with brass
Maybe try that next time?

Tony

I would not worry about the hole too much, lots of people will be sure to like it.

Bob

Cheers! :tu

Tony H

It kinda looks like a mini cleaver. It also looks massive until you see it next to the other razor!

Are those scales the originals? They're pretty cool themselves—I like the shape.

Thought that my self, Looks like a big razor close up!
Thanks, The scales are from a different razor that were broke at the pivot, keep almost everything that may be some use now?

Tony H

That looks wicked! Good job!

Nice razor, the hole in the blade is the only thing I might change.

Russell

I dig it man. The only thing I would change, the hole should be bigger :) That hole and point scream bad A--

Acutely it needs more holes :) :)

Did think of a row of 4-5 across the top but that one took so much drilling.

Tony H

Honestly, the only thing I dislike is that it's not mine. Very striking razor.

Fine looking work! No one will purchase that one without reading the description. Great for us bearded guys that still want fine quality razors, without the length! Got yourself a winner there! Thanks for sharing!

Nice save! How did you bore the hole?

Little diamond ball tools that come with the dremel, Very hard though, took a while, Good steel ? :-)

Tony H

Yes, they are good hard steel...almost as hard as NY steel. I enjoy mine very much!

I agree with the earlier post the hole should not be apologetic... Make it bigger and enjoy :)

Just to thank everyone that commented & let you know it sold. I was very happy the outcome & it proved worthwhile.
Looking forward to doing something different! Meanwhile this is an Ator i did earlier Attachment 131731
