That's really nice! The razor that is, the other pic eww. Best part about that blade is that these H Diamond are incredible shavers, somewhat unusual to see a Japanese razor with covered tang.

THAT looks pretty good!

I love seeing these handsaws. I just got a few in my Great grandfathers tool box. Should we start a thread under Sharp Things?

What exactly is that thing? Where from? Who made it? Looks like before even thinking of honing this thing you will need to do a lot of grinding.

I'll bet a dollar to a dog turd that it's a Paki or C. H. Ina made razor like object. I bought a similar one for my 5 year old grandson/well at least the scales look identical/the blade was slightly different.

With that said, I've been wrong before and I'll be wrong again.

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken...

A bit more sanding to do to pull the surplus gold out of the surrounding wood grain, but not too bad. The details in the sunburst were really close on the original image so I wasn't sure how the wood would hold up to that much focused laser energy in a small area.
Pretty pleased with the depth of detail around the symbol and script.
Cheers.

Excellent work Mike!
