I did that here local in Zagreb, Croatia. If you like I can send you contacts on PM.

What steel did you start with? 1059? 1048? Clue us in please.

As you can see on first image I use Böhler K460. That is equivalent to AISI O1 steel.

Thank you..I meant 1095 and 1084. I cant type..sorry. When i quench O1 in oil it bends the wrong way. Thank you Croatia. And in water it tings without a coat of clay. The ting is the sound.

The riddle of steel...

Sweet, you have incorporated pitting into the design of the blade and made it look pretty cool!
From a design view I like it. From a rust point of view, I wonder. How does it shave?

Thanks a lot for comment.
Rust is here just because my friend wanted to look rustic and spartan. Rust is not on important places (edge). I did test shave and she is great shaver. But since I usually use folding 6/8 razor it was littlebit clumsy to me. I believe that I'll be able to master her after couple of shaves.
