Thanked: 13245GemStar Customs and SnailForge Collaboration - Again
Many of the members here will remember over the years Bruno and I working together across the big pond doing Straight Razor Collaborations..
Well we decided to do it again this year
Bruno@SnailForge in Belgium did the Steel (W2 Carbon) work along with the Heat Treat and Temper on these 6 razors. They are now heading across the ocean here to North Idaho
Once they arrive Gemstar Customs will do final polish, and offer limited customizations to finish up the razors in Horn, Bone, Kirinite, or G10 scales.
The razors are 13/16 -7/8 size final size after honing
The price will be $350usd plus shipping for standard builds ie: 2 pins and most shapes
Once the razors are here in hand I will finalize orders and take a small materials deposit on each one..
These are cross listed on GemStar and SnailForge FB pages
They will be FCFS"No amount of money spent on a Stone can ever replace the value of the time it takes learning to use it properly"

Thanked: 13245Some how the number 3 razor that went to Rome didn't get posted..
Could be that between US customs and then Italian customs it took almost 3 months to arrive"No amount of money spent on a Stone can ever replace the value of the time it takes learning to use it properly"
