This was my first try with Pattern Welded Steel.
I try to keep everything pretty simple in case it ended up a letter opener.
But, I'm happy to say everything went better then planed.
The razor has a Symmetrical grind instead of the typical asymmetrical grind of a Kamisori.
Width is around 7/8, cutting edge 2", overall length is 6.25"
This is also listed for sale.

A little something different: Kamisori razor
Thought I would do a little something different this do I decided to go east.....far east.
Custom Kamisori style razor. I did cheat a little, in that it is a wedge grind instead of the typical asymmetrical grind of Kamisoris but I think it cam out pretty well.
Razor width is about 6/8, cutting edge is 1.75 and overall length is 6"

8/8 in Blue & White Mokume
8/8 French point with a bit on a longer tail, jimps top/bottom and some simple file work on the spine and tail.
Scales are Blue & White Mokume with a green & pearl wedge, silver pins with small silver washers.
This is kind of a redo.. We had a idea of the blade shape but wasn't set on the scales material.
As the blade was finishing up the decision was made the scales. We both thought the blade design with the Mokume he wanted, would make for to "busy" a look.
So we decided on a more subtle blade design.
I really like the way it came together. The simple blade look really at home with the busy scales.

Red and Black Dorko
Here's a Dorko I finished up. He already has a Red G10 Dorko and a Black G10 Dorko.
So to keep the theme going, he decided to he wanted a one side red, one side black.
I think it ended up coming out pretty well.
Red and Black G10, black with red swirl acrylic wedge, 3-pin, silver pins and washers
