nother cute 5/8

this one is just a hair more then 5/8 but till i hone it it will be close. its also a shorty as the blade is just 1.75 long
it has safe corners and has amboyna burl mono scale
the steel is 1095 high carbon and it has a SS stop pin (tapered slot makes sure the blade cant pass through but i like the pin )

its on hold for the time being as im working a deal out + i need to mark and hone it

let me know what you think both good and bad i ll take it all

I like the shape of the blade very much. I also like the simple scales with a very interesting grain. To my eye, though, the scales look a bit chunky for that size blade. Very nice overall, however. :tu

Nice little razor with beautiful scales!


Is the pivot pin a post-screw?

Nice, but, the scales do look a bit stumpy.

Those scales ought to come with a fire extinguisher! Hot!

I love the whole thing! Does the blade close naturally? It's interesting how it appears that the pivot area is higher than the tang. I also like a longer handle for the intended use of such a short razor. The S-curve tip is incredibly... attractive I guess is the appropriate word

yep i had thought abuot the chunky handle at the pivot and stop pin and might still think it down some
the pivot is the same as i always use 1/8 inch folder pivot that uses 2 2-56 screws

That is a lovely, nay beautiful blade & scales too. :bow

I would wonder if the ccales could be a little slimmer. Would but will not as I dare not argue with the smith with blade in hand. We both love the sexiness of the curves & flow of lines.

Wonderful work as always!

I have a soft spot for small things!

I like the size very much!

The scales are very nice as well, asks for attention in a very subtle way.

If this one's spoken for what's a guy to do to acquire one of these little beauties? I'm interested.

i have slimmed the razor a bit and it now looks less bulky. as you can see i have alot of honing to do now that i have 2 new hones fine and ultra fine spydercos

!!!DROOL!!!!!!! :D
Those are some beautiful looking blades. Excellent work

Butch,
looks great either way. i do find that i hold a razor differently when shaving other peoples legs and such and would thing the scales as long as they are balanced would be fine....

on a further note i like the way you make the tang and tail... On most of my razor the spine is a straight line from the tip to the pivot. Keep them coming!

Great work and a unique style.
I like the satin finish on the scales & blades. :nj

I love it asit is .Fantastic craftmanship. Is ths coming up for sale or is it a prototype for a new model.
I'm asking as I can feel the RAD coming back very strongly with this particular razor.Paul

I like the looks too.

What scale material is that, 2nd from the top, Butch?

the green/brown is a double dyed maple burl i got for wildwoods at the blade show


so far as if these are protos i kind of think they all or as not one will be the same (some close) i like to keep things changing

now if i needed to make say 20 over the next month or so i would have a drawing done and lazered out the blanks to save me a bit of band saw time

Do you use water on the spydercos? I've read that they don't need to have any, but wanted to ask one of the pros as am eagerly awaiting it's arrival.
