Did a little more work on the W&B copy and Kamisori.
Tapered the tail, cut the jimps, a little file work and 1st normalization.
I thought I would try something I've seen on a few of Charlie's razors. So since the Kamisori doesn't have a home yet, I'm free to experiment with things... Anyway I twisted the handle on Kamisori to make it a little interesting. After I twisted it I hammered it back somewhat flat.
Mostly cleaned up an ready for some heat.

A couple more started.
OK lets try this again. Maybe I'll do better!
So I started 2 more this week.
One Kamisori
It's going to be around 8/8 with a 2" cutting edge.
The other razor is based on a Wade & Butcher "Ottoman Egyptian and Royal Windsor" razor
1st pic - Cut out and initial shaping.
2nd pic - initial hollowing

8/8 Kamisori, traditional asymmetrical grind
Here is a fun one I finished up.
I thought I would practice my asymmetrical Kamisori grinding.
She is a fun little (big) razor.
Here it is next to a 7/8 Filly

So much for keeping up with progress..lol
Well, I truly did intend to try and follow the most recent razors... Just wasn't meant to be.
It started with a impromptu trip my wife and kid took to see a friend for 4 days. As luck would have it, the wife took the camera with here. So I thought "no big deal", so I'll miss a couple pics at the start..
Before I new it, I almost had them done.....lol
So a figured at least I could post some finished pics..
2 of the 3 are done. The last one is done minus the scales (working on them)
10/8 Custom, jimps top bottom
Horn scales with bone wedge and stacked washers
8/8 Spanish'ish point, jimp top and bottom
Scales are Horn with a red G10 liner, wedge is horn and G10 and silver pins with small washers.
