Hi from the netherlands

Hey guys.
Im Patrick 30 years old from wageningen in holland.
I recently started making knives. I use a 2x72 beltgrinder and for hollow grinding i use a 10" contact wheel. I always had a thing for straight razors so i tried making a razor and i came out great for a first try and got hooked on making razors instead of knives.
So yeah thats a bit about me, i hope i can learn lots more stuff from this forum to make better razors and upgrade my technique.
I have no clue yet how to upload pictures (i only use my phone, dont own a computer)

Cheers

Hello Patrick, welcome to SRP.

Welcome, nice to have you here.

Hello Patrick and welcome to SRP.
Enjoy your time here on the forum and have fun.

Welcome to SRP. I cant help you none with questions about making blades but we have a lot of guys that enjoy that part of the hobbie. So be sure to post some pics and ask questions. I know the info on pics is in here somewhere. Be sure to read the stuff in the library. And the rules. They are pretty simple to follow.

Welcome to the forum. :)

Welcome to the forum. There is tons of information and people here.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Show us your work!

Hi,

Welcome to SRP!

I think you can try Tapatalk to post pics and stuff. I never used it though.....lots of guys here use it to navigate around the forum. See you around!

I think that option no longer is available. But if you use the full forum page on your phone you can upload pics the same way as doing it on a computer. Just a couple more steps but it works. So find the info on how to upload pics and then go to full site on your phone and give it a go. I'm not the best at explaining but if you send me a pm I'll do me best to help.

Dag, welkom bij ons. Voor de beelden te kunnen uploaden, kies eerst de computer versie van de pagina's. Dan in edit venster, druk het ikoon beeld, kies from computer, upload beeld van de photogalerij.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum, Patrick! Glad to hear that you have stumbled down the straight razor rabbit hole. Have fun and enjoy the journey. :)

Attachment 277583i hope this works :)
My latest projects. Western kamisori style razors half hollow. The one on the left is made from a old file. The others are made from 6mm O1 tool steel
Sorry for the 2 dirty razors :oops:

Welcome to SRP!!!!

Those are some real nice looking razors, thanks!

Thanks! Really happy with the way they turned out!

Welcome to the forum! Nice looking blades. Look forward to ok seeing them with scales. Do you have to tape 1 and 3 to hone with the spines like that? And what is that gold circle?

The primitive look of the first one is cool.

That Kami looks great too. You should do a thread for them in the custom shop forum to show them off and discuss how you made them.

Nice work. I am loving the kamisori, well done.

Thanks :D yeah i tape them when i hone them. As i do with all razors while honing, i dont have a steady hand yet to hone them without tape.
I dont put scales on them yet (because i dont know how to lol)
That golden circle is a mozaik pin its hard to see on the picture

Well the taping prevents hone wear anyway, so I always use it. If you can grind a blade scaling them will be easy. Lot of info here on making scales. I think Lewis Razors is the one who made a Youtube video that shows everything from designing the scale around the blade to cutting and shaping them with minimal tools.

Check out the Kamisoris made by Bruno, they are really nice.

Welcome to the forums! We found the forums to be a huge help when we were first starting out and we want to reciprocate, so don't hesitate to reach out. We look forward to seeing more of your work on here =)

Thank you.
Ill try reach out as mutch as i can, im not the kind of person who likes to ask questions. I Love to solve problems on my own :lol:

Hi and welcome aboard. Nice razors especially for a startup. Don't be afraid of asking questions it saves good steel.

Hi Patrick & welcome aboard. Those look great & now that you like making straight razors, you will get much better than what we see here.
Great to have you here.
Good luck my friend.
