I'm using the same type anvil you are. Looks like you have a nice set-up in your shop, thanks for sharing.

Finaly my new checkering file arrived.





After normalization and checkering with file...



And some extra photos... just to show pattern.

THat is some nice and even grinding sir, looking good!

Hi to all,

Here some news about this beauty.

My HT setup:


Inside forge


After hardening:


Tempering - 1h on 250 °C


Some nice colors after tempering:




I have one small crack close barbers notch so I will have to shorten them for about 2 mm.

Now I have to grind them to "zero" and some sanding after that.


If you like you can watch hardening on my youtube channel...

Some really bad news about this one...



And I did some practice grinding anyway

And after that some destruction test / learning lession

I will note that edge is 0,05 mm at the edge, and around 0,1 mm at 3 mm height.

I learned that my HT is pretty good, and find grain structure very small.


It's good to know that time spended on this razor is not totaly wasted.
