Thanks BobH... appreciated the kind w

Close but no cigar...
I got the edge thin enough 0.15mm... but theres some 60grit scratches that will probably make the blade disappear... and the edge wanders over from the one side to the other by...

I have flattened and parallelled the spine now now and it seems the one side is more even the other still has the dip...

Thanks... that dip in the grind line seems to dog the knives i make too... mostly i seem to correct it in the end, but here it seems to be getting worse... does it happen because of uneven pressure?...

Mmm... i see a coochie razor coming... this is a 6/8 - 7/8 so there's a little wiggleroom i guess... had i known i would have started with 8/8s

Thanks! I have been pondering the grind for a few hours and barring stuffups i think it may still work out...

Mmm... this will be tricky... luckily i have 3 more

Eish... no need... the uneven edge lifts by about 1/50" if the spine is flat on a hone... at least it can still be fixed... i stopped early enough...

Will try that...

Cool, thanks have been thinking about that... don't know how to balance the weight of these things yet... and noticed that the bottom of the tang towards the rear doesnt really contribute to the grip...

Well i am going to use 2mm pins. That is the brass i got at the hardware store... doesnt seem to need annealing either. What is 1/50" between novices... Thought it might need annealing from the...

So... why 1/16" pins? Surely a slightly thicker on will wear less quickly, have less friction, bend less during pinning? What am i missing?

There's a little bit of design by...

Some progress on the swap razor project...

Decided to rather go with 3.7x thickness and change layout to allow more blades...

I am partaking a swop build... in SA...

a group of knifemakers are building straight razors according to a standard design, all the participants will then enter in a draw and then the razors are...

Oh... sorry for the miscommunication... i use the granite as a separate sharpening step... bevel setting is done on an 800 grit king stone... i would expect a 1000grit dmt would cut quicker than a...

Mmm... tried something different sharpening wise on the newer rso... in between the 1600 grit and the loaded strop i put a wet hard granite sharpening step... with an extra layer of tape as the...

Judging by the angles i have to use to shave, it is probably more shavette sharp than razor sharp...

Will have to improve... stones or steel... sigh...

Thanks... i am itching to get some 4-8mm O1... i might even finish sand those...

Haha you might want to look at Neels vd Berg's razors... also Jack Connan. David van der merwe has some kamisori as well...

Ja... it started off a bit different it was a bit of design by grinder... it started more similar to this one...208808

So it is only 2mm k460 stock and I need three layers of tape to get to an angle that actually resembles 15deg inclusive... i have only up to 1600 grit stones... the rest are buffing compound loaded...
