Thread: Hello from Texas

Just wanted to say Hello. Ive been a lurker here for awhile and decided it was time to post. Im a knifemaker and leathersmith in Texas. I have been building a few Damascus razor in the last year and have cought the razor bug. I learned a ton on this forum, hoping I can give back a bit of what I have learned over the last 25 years of knifemaking and leathersmithing. Here are a few pics I thought you folks would enjoy. Thanks Rich

Those are some nice looking razors! I'd cut myself to pieces with the spike point on the second one, though

Very cool!! I like em!

I wish I lived closer to Houston; I'd be there for sure.

Tom I would love to but I have a American Bladesmith Society knife show in San Antonio this weekend. Great knifeshow if anyone from the area would like to go.

Be sure to Strop for 30-50 round trip laps just before each and every shave. Your face will say thank you!

I really like the Damascus razors, very cool.


Hope this helps,

Welcome to SRP mate.
Those are some very interesting designs
Have you shaved with any of them yet?
And if you did, what was your progression getting them shave ready?

Anyways, thanks for the pics, really cool designs
