If he makes one that has the same knurling as a Fatboy, he'll be sitting on a goldmine.

I know the Bulldog handle has been copied by every Tom, Dick and Harry, and I've seen some beautiful aristocrat style handles done by...UFO, I think.Very true I believe, amongst other vintage handles. I'd love a stainless Fatboy razor handle too. I'm always surprised that given the artists we have at our disposal in this hobby, that many of these classic designs have not been copied. I've always thought the Fat Handle Tech a beauty for example.

I don't know how popular a three piece Fatboy handle would be, but I'm truly astonished that the Chinese haven't made a Fatboy knockoff. I'm equally surprised that no one has made a stainless (or mostly stainless) Fatboy yet. Even though I'm sure it would cost several hundred dollars, there would be no shortage of people wanting one.
Well, here it is! My "signature" shaving brush handle. Stainless and brass pre bored to accomodate a 28mm knot. The brass ones are sold out for now, but I will be making more down the road. All comments, inquiries, and questions more than welcome! View attachment 14576
And just for fun, here's a shot of one still on the latheView attachment 14579
Thank you so much for the encouragement my friend! I always stand by my work, but I am so very proud of this model and have decided to keep one for myself and hopefully the knot will arrive tomorrow! This model will always be offered, even though I will make new and different ones as well (including my 400 homage in hopefully just a few weeks)!Those are just simply stunning, I love the stainless version, and the fact it's a 28mm hole. We are a very lucky community to share in your skill and artistry. Good luck with the project.
Thank you. My last model felt really nice to me, but this one is even lighter. I'm very excited to recieve my knot to test this one out!They are not only classy looking but it looks like they would be really comfortable to hold. Very nice.

Would you be interested in doing one to match the stainless satin Blackland Blackbird razor?...All comments, inquiries, and questions more than welcome!
