Group email list

Those that are interested in being on my group email list, just send me a email at arazorstale@gmail.com.

I promise not to fill your inbox up with stuff.  I won't email much, but it will be mostly related to razors that are available or if I have a special steel to offer (so I can put your name a piece).

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.

First is a 8/8 Kamisori with twisted handle

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.

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 :)
