Two ready for scales.....

**randydance062449** · 01-13-2009, 04:42 AM

Well guys here are the first two handmade razors from me that I did not throw away.

I will have some others real soon. The steel is high carbon steel.

Sorry for the shadows on this pic.

Outstanding Randy, now I know you were really forging ;-) What scales are you putting on these babies?

Al raz.

Don't know yet. Still grinding on a bunch of others. I will finish those first then start on scales.

Randy,

Those blades are great. I really like the shape of the tangs and tails.

Grinding more blades? That makes me envious. Now I am waiting to see more.

Great work! How big is that lip lopping chopper on the bottom?

The top razor is a 6/8+ and the bottom is 17/16 at the toe.

We anxiously await the shave test report.

Very nice, my friend. Maybe YOU'LL be giving the yet to be determined but soon to be scheduled hollow grinding demo on one of Mike's Baders?

Thanks for the complement!

They were heat treated in a propane fired forge, quenched in oil and tempered in my kitchen oven at 400 for 2 hours.
