Hi to all,

With DM-006 I didn't get well so I start with new razors...


Models are transfered on O1 (Böhler K460) steel.

That's all for now.

Why do you start out with 9.5 mm thickness? Seems a bit excessive :)
Just curious if this is just what you had available, or if it was a concious choice.

Ok I thought so, but I was curious.
For future reference, there are several online stores that are good to do business with. Or if you are based in Europe, I can give you a couple contacts for buying steel. Or if you need just an occasional blank, I'm sure several people here would glad help you out.

Thanks for the pictures! Please keep them coming as you progress please!!!

That will be great Bruno. I'm from Europe (Croatia) so you can send me contacts on PM.

I am in Hungary, and Uddeholm has O1 and A2 in 6mm sheet stock for very good prices. Try to find your local Uddeholm retailer, I am sure that they will have some in stock too.

I just find some time to put 40 grit on this beauties...

Nice work! That french point profile is pretty interesting! I can't wait to see the finished work in scales.

Cheers.

Grinding to zero isn't actually a good idea, but you will see that for yourself. Or did you set the bevel before hand sanding the whole razor?

I didnt grind to zero realy. I leave around 0,05...0,1 mm on edge. bevel is not set jet. Thanks for waching and comments guys!
