Thread: 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.

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.

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.
