First crack at forging a razor
I got busy this morning and had a crack at forging out a couple of razors. I'm still new to forging so ill be interested to see how they turn out.

The knife is a stock removal I'm working on but I got sick of sanding so lit up the forge. It's 250mm for size comparison.
Both razors will have a final blade length of about 75mm and I will do a hollow grind of some type, although that will have to wait until I get to a mates place as I'm not set up for hollow grind as yet. (I'm in the process of sourcing an 8,4 & 2 wheels).
All three blades are 1075 so ill home heat treat. I have some other carbon steels ill have a play with later to compare.
Thanks for looking.
