Thread: dmblade 012 - hand forged straight 8/8 in O1

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.

Made razor creative and think that the razor comfortably in the hand, but on the blade shell me a little worried. Like laser engraving, it looks good. Like razor shaves?

Thanks.
Razor is good balanced so it fits nicely in hand. Shave was nice and smooth. I have to upload some photos after honing. Edge is polished well and there is no rust at all.

I did find some time and took some better looking pictures of this razorblade.















Hope that I don't bother you guys with this pictures...
