Thread: "Kamisaurus Rex" or The Death of a Microtome

This Microtome has been sitting out in the shop for a good two years, I always said "someday" I was going to do "something" with it...
Well last week Nubskillz and I were blabbing in the chat room, where many ideas are hatched
He mentioned that he had a Microtome and was there anything I could do with it, we started thinking and shooting ideas and I said "Well hell why not make the single bevel look right and make it into a Kamisori style razor" so the idea was hatched...
Now last night we were talking again in chat and I remembered I had this one, it is I think a Boker Microscope Sectional Cutter 15/16 with ZERO hone wear...

What a mess of rust but I started cleaning it up, and I just made the first cuts in the spine and blade...
I am going to target 1.5-1.75 inches for the actual edge length...I am seeing something for the blade shape that Spazola came up with sometime back that inspired my Wicked Style Mods but maybe pushed farther out there....

I have some ideas for the "Tang/Handle" but I have to work it out in my mind first before I start hacking steel up... I am thinking something like the Acrylic Covered Tangs I have done in the past...

Anyway as the Kamisaurus Rex starts to take more shape, I'll keep posting here, until it is done or destroyed completely...Then if it works out I'll start cutting up Nubskillz's microtome next hehehehe
