Thread: JOSH'S CHRISTMAS PRESENT! No looking, Josh

I like it too. It's like raku pottery. And for some reason has a "cowboy" feel to it. I have no idea why I think that.

I think that the collective Honemeisters should announce a new pricing schedule. Something like; "All razors honed to shave ready condition - $20.00 (Unless the razor is over 11/8, in which case the charge is $200.)"

I know you guys were aware of the hole in the blade. Here is what I did with it...



What'll y'all allow on that?

I like the idea of sending it in pieces with some assembly required with a touch of honing.

This was good. It made me laugh. I like the idea of sending it in pieces. Maybe one piece every two weeks... baaa ha ha ha ha.

Bill, you keep coming up with those surprises and you'll put every other razor-maker to shame.

Out of curiosity.. The pivot pin hole seems rather small, indicating the need for a more rigid rod stock than plain ol' brass. What will you be using?

Bill, this is a work of beauty.
The decoration around that pinhole is a work of art.

My only remark is purely personal cosmetic perference: for me, I'd rather have a smooth spine, with a hollowing in the side of the spine, like they sometimes use to hollow out the sides of the spine of a katana.
But that is just taste of course, and detracts nothing from the quality, nor beauty of your work.

Nice mosaic Bill, that had to be a royal PITA to grind and polish with the blade. I've got a 3/16" mosaic pin that I'd thought of using as a third pin in some scales but ... IN THE BLADE?! You're a glutton for punishment, aren't you?

Thanks... in order to use the mosaic's for a third pin, they have to be stepped to be functional. I have been using them for razors a while and for knives since 1992.

Si Senor Bill the hat btw is cool, That blade is out of this world. Did you polish it by hand, I believe mclean3 mentioned that you should do it by hand. The mosaic pin really adds class to that blade. I am going to have to come up with something really cool, well cool for my talents anyway.
