Well, it's not quite ready for prime time - needs more polishing, and I learned a lot about how not to hone a hand made blade, but - I'm dam proud of it for a first attempt! Thanks, Mike Blue, for all your help with heat treating. O1 steel, Olivewood scales with Tung Oil, and brass pins and washers. And, I just found out you can't edit the title of a post - I really do know how to spell "custom"!
I like it. I could only wish that my first looks half as good.
Nice job!
I could see myself shave with that one.
Beautiful work, very impressive. Congratulations!
Great job. Even with the file work it has a "smooth" look to it. Keep up the good work

Thanks to the moderator, or whoever fixed the spelling of "custom". I goofed and spelled it "custon" in my original post, and was unable to change it. Thanks for all the kind words, guys. I'm going to finish honing it and try a shave later this week.
A fine looking razor indeed. Very nice work..hope it serves you well :)
Nice lines and I like the overall look of the razor. Mike is great! What a friend and teacher!

Looks sweet! Congrats!
One of these days this is something I'd like to do... going to have to wait until my son is a bit older, probably would be fun to do together!
good looking razor! very nice job
Lovely job! You should be proud of that one..! :tu
If this is your first, I sure look forward to seeing more! That is a very fine looking razor. There is something special about shaving with a razor that you have made yourself isn't there?
