Thread: What are you working on?

Have never seen a razor like that...Sure is strange looking. Is it heavy?

Perhaps a half-rattler?

Dang, how many grinds have I still not seen?!
Certainly an interesting looking one. Thanks for posting that.

I stole the pic off of Mike!

While I am on a roll, went home and snagged my other Snail Forge razor to give it the same treatment. Found my collars. Down to one razors-worth. Hope he restocks them...

Gonna thin out the wedge a bit on this one. Pretty close to going through.

From the picture, the edge on that blade looks kind of rough? Is it just shadows and my eyesight?

I agree. A little thinner wedge would be safer. As long as it dont make it stand up too much.

I see he is now making those collars thinner so they have a little flex ability. Thats what i read anyway.

The lighter and darker patterns in the Damascus are tricking the eyes. The bevel is dead even

Is this something to be concerned with, or just to be expected from old firehose?

I was hoping it was an optical illusion! That is a great bevel! Thanks!

I would say yes and yes?
