Hmmmm. So do you think that with AEB-L's reputation for very high fine edge keeness and stability, this could work in that 6/8 size range?

Right around .69-.7. Max width of the blade is around .8. It has a round spine. The smaller Wilhelm Mandt razor which is .175 thick is like .69 total width with the shorter rounded spine and like...

That is something that I have thought off. You still need to get it pretty hot to do that. I don't know HOW hot.

I have seen some folks using full 1/4 stock for some 6/8 and 5/16 for 7/8 custom blades, so I am not sure what the current trends are.:shrug: The wider old German blade that I have is actually...

With stainless, you have to have an oxygen free environment on the surfaces you are welding. I tried MIG welding the seams, but my crappy little flux core wire welder was not up to the task. Next...

Bruno, in my case it is heat it and beat it again. I kinda discouraged myself a while back when it came to that stainless clad san mai. Have to get some more thicker 410 or 416. :banghead:

Yes, but the problem is that the few guys who are really good at forge welding stainless like that tend to be a rather tight lipped about their process. The only tutorial that I have seen is by a guy...

Unfortunately, .200 or, actually, .1965 is about as thick as they can go on the AEB-L. Forge welding that stuff, even to itself, apparently has a bit of a learning curve. If you are interested, the...

I have a couple of German razors that are in the 6/8 range. the bigger one is more like 9/16. They have a spine thickness of around .175-.180 for the smaller one and .200 at the thickest part on the...
