Welcome. So it's looking good.
Use 1070. That is perfect. 1045 will be a bit too low in carbon.asigarza likes this.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

Day 1
Finally use a 5160 piece
I think 6mm thickness is too much, so think hammer it to 4 mm, what do you think?
two ideas over the same blank
all comments, criticisms & suggestions are welcomeLast edited by asigarza; 07-14-2014 at 02:35 PM.

I think you should leave it at 6 mm. The ratio for width - thickness should be between 3.5 - 1 and 4 - 1. If you go thinner, the honing angle will be too shallow, leading to a more fragile edge that is more difficult to hone, and your razor will quickly develop wide bevels.
A razor is not a knife, and this is the most common mistake made by knifemakers who make their first razor. A razor is thicker than a knife. 4-1 is the flattest you should go.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.
