    Default A batch of razors

    i got a bar of 01 6 x 36" bar 5/16 paid $100! steal! i cut some 9/8's razors from that and made all the same shape, i actually liked the design from the post i made about the 9/8 blade san mai billet, so im just improving on that design... i am doing 2 different spine designs from it as well as the "jimping" of the jimping will look better when i clean it up on the grinder and polish it out.

    so i was trying to do a rounded spine and in the middle of it i realized i could flatten the top and it look like a triangle or diamond spine.... then the other is rounded... i think that the rounded spine looks waaaaay sleeker but that diamond spine is pretty sweet too...

    Nice. I'm been getting things together to start practicing file work on knives.
    Looks easy. lol but I'm sure it isn't.

    File work is enjoyable and can add some personalization to a piece. I’ve done quite a bit on finished ( tempered steel) razors. A bit more of a challenge but doable.

    I would imagine that you go through quite a few files if the blades are already heat treated.

    Actually files don’t work on treated steel. They just slide across it. Stones and cut off discs are used.
    But results are on par with file work done prior to treating.
