That's awesome! How does it shave?
Dunno yet. I have to see if there is anything special to know about honing a frameback like this.Quote:

Here it is after honing and shaving. It is a great shaver but a little too small and light for my big numb mits. Hardly anything to hold on to, especially when I use a straight grip. You will also notice a slight chip, something I didn't see until looking at the pic on the computer. It made no difference to the shave (that I noticed) but I'll have to go back and work it out.:mad: Damn my eyesight, had to get a loop to look at it.

It also need a radical rolling xstroke to get a bevel on the toe.
