Funny. I wish it was mine
Tried knocking up some scales today. And looks like it will be a dual process. Also got to get together with Mike nephew who has a torch and we bent some metal around. It was fun

Now, with the mocked up scales...how does it strop? How does it handle if you were to mock shave? These are all important parts of the design...
The scales are not attached to each other. The feel is bulky. I need to narrow the tail
Narrowed the end of the scales. Feels good in the hand
Been thinking about trying the same things when i get my forge going. Glad to see others putting their experiences out here. Good looking razor so far! It looks like so much fun! Thanks for all the ideas from everyone. Im living vicariously through you for now DRM, keep up the good work.
Attachment 156170Well I am tempted to make it into a smiling razor. Thoughts? Other than that just some more light sanding then heat treat
With that big notch in the hollow at the heal of the blade...I wouldn't. I can't see a pivot hole...
