In my opinion, this is an example of the Dreadnought tip...love this style of razor:



And another example....

Those look like Smith razors. I love them too. Working on one of those as well (not broken though!)

Sorta like this Phrank?

or does it need to be a little "naughtier"

I see what you did there...."naughtier"...hehe....

For what you have to work with, I wouldn't go any steeper....maybe a little round indentation underneath the top of the spine....but on the other hand, knowing when to stop is 3/4's of the battle, and that razor is looking good.

Personally, I'd wait 24 hours, sleep on it as they say, and see what you think about it then.....turned out very well though.

Too Late~

I felt like it needed more, so I gave it more. I'm pretty satisfied with it now. Just needs a final polish and a hone.
Here it is next to its inspiration, big Uncle Smith...

Why I did it..... Cause Phrank didnt think I could!

Jolly good show Magpie, jolly good show (I'm channeling "Bridge on the River Kwai"for some reason)! :-)

Turned out really nice....
