Nice looking piece.

Sounds like more than half hollow though. That shows some serious skill to keep them that thin and uniform

Its a bit more than half hollow, close to 3/4 but not quite there. I did this one on a 3" inch wheel and do full hollows on a 1.5" wheel (oddly enough its easier than flat grinding.)

Beautiful piece. I wish I had the skill and patience to create something like that.

Beautiful looking razor! I need to get some smaller contact wheels to make some hollow-er grinds. Really love those scales!

Is there a For Sale section for these razors? My searches have been fruitless thus far. . .
