This is also a razor, that I forged at my first "blacksmith-lesson". It is from a high-chrome-steel 1.2436. This is not a stainless steel but nevertheless very water resistant. The back and the shank are etched.
Handle is from olive wood with a brass wedge.
Nicely done !!!
The lines are classic with just the right touch of art...
God I love Olivewood.. So easy to work, such a tight grain near waterproof from Mother Nature.... and damn good looking...
That really is a beautiful razor. You do make some fantastic examples!
I like this a lot. I might try to find some olive wood for my first attempt at rescaling with inspiration like this.
Now if I could just make the blades...
Wow! That is great design, Your workmanship is flawless.
:bow

Love that Olivewood! :tu
This razor has lots of eye appeal. The perfect curve of the scales, the complementary color match and attention to detail in the curve in the brass spacer and the ends of the scales - yummy!!!
Beautiful work gabor.
The blade reminds me a bit of the Friodur 7/8.
Good choice on the olive wood.
I love the look & design of this blade . its just the type of razor that I lust after ( aren't they all )
I just wish that I had the ability & materials to acomplish something like this my self.
Every razor that you have posted so far has me admiring your work more & more.
Cheers Paul
Wow! Very nice. I am impressed and I respect people who have skills like this. I don't know what God has in mind for me, but I don't have skills like these. That is beautiful work.
very nicely done... It makes me want to learn the blacksmithing of it all
Classic, clean lines. :tu:tu
Gabor, it's a delight. And stainless is overrated. I'm still trying to decide which of my kids (razors) to send to you for a one-of-a-kind rescale. Decisions, decisions.
Thank you all. Now I must soon get my own forge ready. I´m really want to train more in blacksmithing. But with work, family and childrens there is allways a littel bit of delay in the things ;)
Beautiful work as usual! Like the choice of scales! :Beer:
I really like the work you present to us here. I like your designs and am really impressed with the jimps you have done on this one. Thanks
Very nice, buddel
Going classic, Gabor? :)
Its so nice! Especially how it closes so snugly. Nice bevel as well.
You're my hero! :bow
Nice work! The blade, the scales...even the photography are all top notch!
Some times, yes ;) I´m still learning a lot, from every razor I make. Some earlier, fancy designs wasn´t very practicable at honig, stropping or at the shave. Now I try to find cool shapes, that nevertheless let the razor be very useable.Quote:

Classic shapes are a wise decision. There's a functionality behind every traditional design, I guess.
