Thread: My First Handmade Razor

That is definitely pretty. What did the hardness come out to?

You've out done yourself again, absolutely stunning work.
I'd better get something restored by you quick before you get out of my price range.
opps!!! to late

I've always wondered how people do the grinding. Do you just take it to a waterwheel or something of that sort?

PS Fantastic work, Joe!

are you thinking of bringing these to market or is it a one off

Beautiful, and the signature is very nice. I wouldn't mind have one of these in my collection at all .

As to the signature, that was the only one I etched on the shank. The rest have a much larger logo on the face of the blade, like these.

Certainly not a one-off. As of now, it's an 11 off. If they do well, I'll definitlely make more. I really enjoy making these more than making knives. Guess it's because these are knives you can use every day.

These were ground on a variable speed KMG grinder (with a water bucket close at hand).

I think I like the signature on the shank better, but that may just be my opinion. The typography of the etching fits the razor very well Joe. I will have to start saving for one of these bad boys. I love everything about them. The worked back, the thumb shaped shank, the look of the scales. I am drooling all over my keyboard Joe!
