Thread: 8/8 Tattoo Razor in Rosewood and Brass

Gents, This one is a commission from a guy who had something very specific in mind. This was to be a gift for a friend who had a tattoo of a straight on his arm. He presented me with a photo and this is the end result after many hours of blood, sweat and tears....Well just blood and sweat . The blade is 8/8 O1 hardened to HRC60. The scales are Rosewood and brass with brass pins and washers. Thanks for looking. Stu.

That looks phenomenal! Great work as usual! Looks similar to the straight razor tattoo I have. Are you making this for me ?

How lovely

That is TOO cool

The blade design is very interesting, the scroll end on the tail, the etching on the blade, the brass and rosewood scales, pins, all look top notch,
great craftmanship.

Mate, there's a lotta work gone into that one. Beautiful job.

That looks amazing, great job

I think it is a beautiful piece of workmanship but from a constructive criticism point of view, the point at the edge scares me. I'd have to really watch myself with it. If the heel is likewise double my concern. Also, a slight curve, or smile, from heel to point is what I always like in a razor. Not taking away from the obvious skill displayed in making that beauty, just my preferences.

That is a beautiful razor, the brass bolsters and blade shape really do it for me. The whole package is great.

Are the brass end caps glued to the rosewood?
