As it were. As it shall be!

I think you stole that 1 really. Just hinting at the future. Maybe a, CMP Special Edition straight razor. Simple but, HUGE !

Designed by the "The Man Himself "

Of course they come dull as all get out right ? Can't have anything too lethal in the hands of the innocent.

Oh and lets not forget the matching slaw chopper and adze :<0)

Cat's out of the bag, I suppose..........Cleavers

See...now wonder you wouldn't show the whole razor.
My mentor has deceived me. Looks like I'm down to one mentor now....lol

I just opened it back up. Carry on.
Here's a picture of a HOG SPLITTER!

Like your AWESOME razor, go big or go home.


Next?

So the Greaves finally showed up at work today. I spent about an hour scrubbing it with a scouring pad as I was walking home. Then I polished it up with some Mothers. It has been reground (I see the vertical lines on each side) into what I believe is a half hollow. Some pitting still remains and that's fine but I could only remove the dark spots from one side of the blade edge. That gives me hope that the super thin edge isn't rusted completely through. I don't know how to set the bevel to do a better test but I can just sand with something more course than a scouring pad and see what happens. Most of the dark spots came off from everywhere else that I "sanded" so I believe that the edge will hold. Also when I laid it on the measuring tape I got 10/8 at the widest point and 9/8 at the heel instead of 1 3/16

Here comes lots of pics

Now should be the peak time to get a good deal bidding on a 4/8ths.

So a picture in my mind of Cheetahmeat walking along in JC, singing a little tune whilst rubbing that beast with a brillo pad.
Perfectly normal!
