Thread: My first custom build Straight Razor

Dear SRP's

This is a little project I've been working on. The knife is going to the annual knife competition in the Danish Knifemakers Guild. The Theme this year is folding knives... and a SR folds

I've now finished my first razor. I made everything from scratch. Forged the damascus, ground the blade, hardened it, cut the handle material, made those little washers (what a time consuming job! and not too nice) and finally pinned it. The CD was a great help.

The materials are thuja burl, copper for the washers and pins, 15N20 and UBH20C (for the blade)... and a drop of CA

And no cuts, yet

Please tell me what you think. All my knowledge comes from SRP.
