Since nobody has made any other comments about the shape or size of the blade, then I am assuming that it is decent as long as I use ¼ inch thick steel. So I picked up some Basswood at the local hobby store and made a pattern to trace onto the steel. Mike Blue had some great advice on the type of steel to use. Since I have some old car springs (5160) laying around, that is what it will be made out of. Mike assures me that, if I do my part correctly, the steel will perform well as a razor. I haven't done any forging in about 20 years as I have been buying flat bar. My “current” forge is not completed so I guess that I will just have to make due.
