Hope you like it for now.
Progressing alone nicely
Will be interesting to see what you create, I really like the razor you made for me :)
What are the project parameters for this build?

Simple task this time. Have to be practical for use and easy for hone. I don't have to say it must be sharp and good shaver:)
Cheers!
Sounds like a much easier client than me lol :)
I love these work in progress thread. We want more! More I say!
Keep it up and thanks!
Cheers.
Just a little bit :)Quote:

830 °C inside of gas forge

After hardening is close to 65 HRC.

Today I have to temper her down to 59 - 60c HRC.
What steel are you using Davo?
I can't wait to see how the hamon comes out
What is the black stuff on the spine in the first pic? (Sorry but I don't know much about forging etc)Quote:

Very cool thread. I like it!

1,5 hour inside of precise temperature calibrator should be around 59,5 ... 60 HRC.

Done with grinding. Direct from grinder. No jig-s used.

Very clean Davo do you have end on pic?
@Substance ... Here you go.

Haha
I meant end on as in showing the full grind profile LOL
Still looks great but
Sorry didn't get you right... maybe you can see how profile looks like in video. But I belive that I will do some more grinding just to get her more thin.Quote:

Very nice work
How are you going to show the hamon just highly polish or etching
I'm not sure that hamon will show. So I will try to etch blade for test.Quote:

I love this razor! The forged to finish on the tail makes the grind look that much better.
Very nice it looks gret
This is how I do it.Quote:
