The members of Badger and Blade will be holding their second annual Sue Moore Memorial Charity Fundraiser supporting NBCF  on Oct. 19 .  Here's a pick pic of the razor I will be donating.

Horsehide Loom Strop

Something a little different.

It been on my mind to make one for a few weeks. Just tough to find the time. So last night a decided to put it together. All and all I think she came out pretty good and seems to work pretty nice so far.

Interesting mystery hone

Something a little different.
Here is a mystery hone from a friend.
There is a chance this is a US born stone. After a few emails, I've found 3 other examples. 2 in the US, 2 in the UK but all acquired in the US... interesting
My guess is it's a slate.Seems to have good abrasive power, yet still very fine. I've tested it and would say the shave the edge produces is similar to a coticule.

 A similar stone pick up but a guy in at a stone near Kentucky Lake

I have a new site set up just for my Custom Straight Razors.
It's still a work in progress but feel free to check it out.

7/8 in Horn

One finished up.
7/8's monkey tail with a slight Spanish point.
Horn scales,bone wedge and stacked washers.
I'm really pleased with the way this one turned out.
This one started as 5/8"x4"x1/4" pieces of 1095 steel. From there a hammered it into the rough shape. I cleaned up the line and hollows on the grinder and added the file work

Increase

June 22 I will have a price increase.
If you're on the fence about getting a custom, you may want to get on the list before the increase.
If you're on the list know, the price increase won't affect you. It only affects new orders starting 22nd.

Kamisori O1 & ATS 34

First is made of O1 steel, 6/8 with a 2" cutting edge.




The next is made of ATS 34 stainless steel. 8/8 with a 1 3/4" cutting edge

Knife #2

Same basic size as the first. I just took a little more time with this one.
The handle is stabilized spalted maple

First knife

Well, most tend to think that before razor I made knives..... but the fact is I've never made a knife..lol...until now.
The design is pretty simple and she won't win a beauty contest but I'm happy with the way it came out.
Like most things I decide to try.. The first goes quick and I don't take the as much time as I should. With the first I'm more concerned about seeing if I can do it.
I except my next will be cleaner then my first...:)

My take on the Mappin Lancet

A while back I was contacted with a request to make a Mappin Lancet but change it up a little.
I thought it would be pretty cool! So even though it took longer then it should have and I donated a good bit of steel to the junk pile... her she is..
7/8, the frame is 01 tool steel and the blade is a low layer pattern welded steel.
The scales are ivory with silver pins. To keep thing looking somewhat old, I used a lead wedge.
Soon to be packed up and headed out.

8/8 Kami & 9/8 round point in Carbon Fiber

Here are a few I've finished recently
First is a 8/8 Kamisori with twisted handle





The next is a a 9/8 round point
Scales are carbon fiber with blue G10 liners and wedge

A razor in the flesh...:)

Recently I was contacted with a interesting request and after a few email we decided on a solution.
I would supply a razor and he would supply the ink!!! :)
So last week I got a email and had a feeling it would have a pic attached to it.

Razor give away.

For those that haven't check out my facebook page, I'd recommend you stop by.
You may be happy you did :)

6/8 western grind fixed blade

Finished up and on it's way..
6/8 western grind fixed blade.
It's a long one. Over all length is over 7" and the cutting edge is close to 2.75"
I had to watch it a little, most of my non folders are around 2 + or - inches long.
So it was a little different with the extra length.
That being said, she works well :)

2 razors added to the for sale section
