3 8/8's started

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
Time for family, food and relaxing...
With the relaxing over and finally getting over the funk I've had for a few weeks. It was time to start a few more razors.
3 - 8/8 Damascus razors and a couple of high carbon ones not pictured.

8/8 non-folder with red horn

Here is one I just finished up.
It made of 1095 steel. 8/8 size with about 2 1/4" cutting edge, symmetrical grind.
Instead of using a wrap for the handle or leaving it bare, red horn was requested.
I think overall it came out pretty nice!

2 Customs finished

Well, here are the 2 razors finished.
I think both turned out great.
The W&B copy has horn scales with a dark red G10 wedge with stacked pins.
The Kamisori I added just a little wrapping to "set-off" the twisted handle.

A little more work done

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.

Into the fire

After a cool down

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

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.
