Thread: Bruno's Blade Club

Love the way that turned out. Great work and enjoy it, it's beautiful.

That turned out lovely!

That white and turquoise looks great together. It really compliments the modern style of blade you have, which is a default description of Bruno's blades. That is why I wanted one made by him.

By the way, I need to finish my Bruno blade. I just always have a lot to do around the house and with my business. I just need to spare some of my off time, for contacting that shell guy with the top hat (The Duke of Pearl, unless someone knows a better source to buy shell from) to source some paua (abalone) and get some hardware to finish it off. Should some micarta or G10 be used to back the abalone; I've heard it is a tab brittle, easy to break?

Just a couple more pics.

Polished finish with Brushed on the blade it self.

Razor is about a hairs width under 7/8 I think easy to hone up, 2 layers of tape.

That is looking amazing, and a lot better than what I sent you.
When Robert and I were in his shop, we focused on 'let's see how you do this' or 'how does that tool work'. After HT and finish grinding we just etched it to give it a look that was better than rough, and to see how the heat treatment had come out. You made it look great!

Thanks Bruno.

It took quite a bit of hand sanding before I could get it to the buffers, the hardest part with any of your blades is deciding how to finish it, as you can see I'm going through an inlaying phase hence what I did, also opted for a more classic look.
Thanks again for the kind words and a great blade as always, as usual it shaves very well.
