Thread: latest big frameback (ish)

so i was taken to task with making a big honking razor but i wanted to do it differently
the blade its self is 1/16 O1 that's been flat ground and 3 3/8 long and edge to spine just over 11/8
all the screws are 2-56 size and bolt the Ti handles that are wire brushed for texture

the spacer is red dyed spalted maple burl that has been stabilized

there is also filed grooving on the top of the spine and under the pivot area
i ll get more pictures and any info i missed in a bit

OOOOHH MY GOD!!!!! That thing is beautiful.........Looks industrial,, like it belongs in a Snap-On Box. GREAT JOB!!!

i already told you it looks good in the big blades thread :P

just a question...how do you hone that sucker!? it looks like the pointy part of the spine(?) would interfere.


but i do love the way it looks when it's closed!

Good and beautiful work. It would be desirable to shave such razor =). From what steel is it made?

Soooooooooo Can we call it the Latherman

Absolutely outta this world workmanship, Butch

Wow, beautiful lines. looks great both open and closed.

Great design.

to hone i tape off the spine and then hold at an angle so the pointy part is off the stones

Good grief Charlie Brown!
You can either shave with that or use it as a brush hog when dragged behind your small tractor!
Beautiful craftsmanship!!!
