UKRob's razor

[mikew]

Hi Rob, I hope you don't mind me sharing this with everyone

True to his word Rob asked me to make him a razor and after looking at a few designs we settled on a 7/8 quarter hollow with a slight smile and a shorter tail than the razors I've made to date.

Here is today's progress, rough ground and ready for some heat!

I don't mind sharing the pictures at all Mike - in fact I'm glad to see them. That little curve adds a bit of character.

Very nice Mike, i can't wait to see a few drawings of my Michael Waterhouse custom over the coming weeks, I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas morning.

Very very nice!

 

[Wales4ever]

Very nice indeed!

I must say that I much prefer the shorter tail. That's looking great.

Cheers guys, glad you like it. I picked up some stunning wood on holiday last week so I'm already excited about the scales

Wow, that looks stunning.
I take it it from the hole it's getting scales, but it could work without.
The things on your blog are gorgeous. Keep up the excellent work Mike.

Thanks for all the kind words.

Managed to sneak a bit of 'shop time today so thought I'd update the thread. This is how they look after heat treatment....



And here it is ground and ready for my makers mark....



I might not want to let this one go Rob
