I've gotta say you really lucked out on this one. The fact that a craftsman of Bill's caliber did it for a friend makes it extra-special.

I think I can answer this one so ol' Bill doesn't wear out his fingers. They're needed for more knives/razors :cool:

1) That's why you start with steel that has not been heat-treated. Any heat...

I'll send him a big bottle of Hot Stuff(R) CA and a book on stitching :D

No, but a fully crewed EMT bus is a standard accessory :nj

Bill, I'm left with two questions:
1) How did you pin it?
2) Even though you didn't give it an ST, what are your impressions on how it honed up?

Bill, the razor is amazing, but you mis-spelled my name :w The funny thing is that I wasn't paying much attention to the sparkly shiny stuff.. Just the metal and the wood (in that order). I'd still...

Out of curiosity.. The pivot pin hole seems rather small, indicating the need for a more rigid rod stock than plain ol' brass. What will you be using?

Bill, you keep coming up with those surprises and you'll put every other razor-maker to shame.

Not yet, Bill. He's not allowed to look, even though he probably has this page bookmarked from an alternate IP where he's acting as a lurker :nj

Then my 26" is only good enough for the outhouse :cry:

Awww poor Bill. You get to play around with a new 62" TV without interference from a soap opera/chick flick/talk show-loving wife :cry:
By the way, what is the ideal range for steel hardness for...

Thanks Joe :tu However, we weren't o/t. We asked questions quite relevant to Bill's work on Josh's blade :cool:

Good question, Jason. And it's something I'd also like to hear the answer to.

Bill, you're a true artist... I had some unexpressed reservations about the wood before you got the finish/liners done, but now it's breathtaking. I'm glad I kept my big yap shut lol.

You're a cruel cruel man Chris :roflmao

Could be but we always refer to it as "bacon." The closest I came to the process was cutting up the fat into smaller pieces for lard extraction, across the pond (in Europe) and the last time I did it...

Bill, I'd put two white gems on the sides with a ruby in the middle to symbolize the country that's known for its maples, bacon and hockey :w

AMAZING :eek: If you hear some noise from your chimney the day you finish it off it's just Santa Clause making an early visit :w

Bill, I'm SURE I'll be buying the second one and I may even be getting the first one if I get that PO job that I interviewed for :D

I'm scared of hearing the final price. If this piece turns out the way it promisses to turn out (which I won't doubt considering who's making it) it will easily outdo some pieces that approach the...

I have 3 of them and I couldn't get either one shave ready :cry:

Keep going Bill and you'll change my opinion of big blades. They allow more artwork to be performed on'em without a loss of function!

But have you noticed that his credibility grew A LOT as soon as he actually said he wouldn't peek in in that other thread? :roflmao

Bill, this is truly masterful! I love your fluting system as it's even more personal and artistic than that of a certain gentleman from Ponte San Giovanni. These detailed illustrated explanations are...

Yeah, Josh, show yourself by answering this question ";"
