    Default Ya like meat choppers do ya......?

    Take a look at this monster. Apparently none of you guys saw it on eBay. A couple weeks ago it never got it's opening bid, I wasn't paying close enough attention either, but after tha fact I emailed the guy and got it for his opener. It's a Smith & Bolton custom, the second of only 2 in a one-time run. BG-42 steel, hand rubbed satin finish, wedge grind, spike point, micarta scales with rare earth magnets, peened pins, and filework. It's pictured with a Dovo 5/8 for a frame of reference. There is no bevel.....yet. It was sharpened like a knife. Sharp, mind you, but not a correct bevel. I'm having a helluva time getting it there, but I' can't wait to get a proper edge on it and shave with this bad boy. The files are large, so if you don't have high-speed, click on one and go make a sandwich... .........Jeff

    Had I been looking on E-bay, I would have snatched that one up right away. I've been trying to be a little more responsible in my razor purchases lately, though

    How do you explain the irresponsibility of letting those ones get away from you? Very dissapointing. I wish you'd get your act together.
