This one is 75 layer of 1095 & 15n20, the blade is about an 8/8s. The scales are dyed and stabilized box elder. There is a fault in the one of the welds you can see it on one side of the tang. I kinda of like the way the fault looks, it adds character.

Definately a cool looking razor there Charlie. Nicely done all the way around.
Very pleasing to the eye. Looks like you will get a man-sized shave out of that one. Great work.

For my eyes it's Perfect,well done ones more...!!!!!
If it is possible,may i ask you how you heat treat it?
Thanks a lot.
The finished blade and scales materials match up perfectly. I love this one Charlie. Of course I am crazy about all of your razors. Thanks for sharing.
I used an Evenheat kiln and Parks 50 quench oil. I normalized, did a few grain refinement cycles, quenched, tempered twice.Quote:

Great looking razor mate. Layered steel always looks magic. Love the combination of the steel and timber grain. Nice choice of materials.

Charlie, this is really an exceptional looking razor :tu
Amazing, looks like being from ancient times.
You said there is an imperfection but I can't even point it out. Where's Waldo has never been my game.
Ancient of times, yup, Adam was shaving with that razor. Great looking piece. Has to be one of my favorites so far. I will do your laundry for 10 years if you could make up another one for me.
Charlie, very nice, love the scales. Do you taper the pinholes for washerless pins?
Charlie, most impressive. The scales have my attention 'cause I've used box elder & liked it alot. I used 'as is'. Can you say any more about the dying? It brings a really different look to the wood.
I did not taper the holes. I used a #80 washer and mushroomed the pin to the same diameter as the washer. This is the razor I used in my last pinning video.Quote:

Charlie, Thank You. I've not dyed wood before & was curious how you went about that. If you'd want to keep that to yourself, I understand. I sure turned out stunning.
I did not dye the wood I bought it that way. Faron Moore dyed and stabilized the wood.

Charlie, it’s Ok if you don’t want to tell us your “secret” dying process…
This reminds me of when my grandson was about 4 and we were getting ice-cream. He said “I like Pistachio Peanut Ice Cream”. My son said, ”You mean Pistachio Nut, Ice Cream”. My grandson said “Yes, Dad, that’s what I said, Pistachio Peanut Ice Cream”… You mean Pistachio Nut”. “That’s what I said, Dad.
They went on for a couple of minutes while I fell off the bench laughing.
waw, I love it.
The handles are beautiful! Im trying to get my hands on some damascus straights.. my dad has a reseller in turkey so im hoping he can find something out.
another sweet razor...
That could be my 'forever' razor. Awesome.
