[butcher_block]

ok ive been game before and im back for more so what you all think
deker forged the w2 round into bar for me but i did the rest (deker and J are getting me thinking about that hammer and forge thing )
its not without its faults but it was fun so
hows it look not just if you like it or not
yes i have to etch my mark on it and hone it but my new stencils are in dekers car

Hell yes !!!! I shave using straight razor, and that one is just perfect IMHO. A nice blend between old tradition and modern materials. Most excellent job.

 

[JParanee]

Bad ass straight razor I really like it

 

[J. Rosa]

Very NICE Butch! I think you'd be equally talented as pounder too. :thumbup:

 

[RAN]

Frikkin Cool

 

[thombrogan]

That is stunning, senor!

 

[butcher_block]

on the next go aroung i think i ll be making a sorta U shapes black spacer that way i dont have to tap an many holes in TI (broke 3 dam 2-56 taps on that handle)
i also think i will try and make a longer "tail" on the next ones this blade was the last of the first 5 i have done so its back to the grinder
BTW thanks all

 

[Joss]

Very, very cool concept, and the execution looks impeccable.

How much does it weigh?

 

[butcher_block]

How much does it weigh?

a little more then i think i want it to but i think with the next one with the changed spacer i can zero in on where i want to be
but to say how many grams it is i don't know

 

[yinyang]

That is purdy. . .

 

[Keith Montgomery]

Okay, I'm looking for those faults, but am having a real hard time finding them.

 

[Lorien]

I was thinking it looked a little hefty. I bet carbon fiber would save some weight, and maybe removing some material from the ricasso.
It's really cool man, like Sweeney Todd meets Predator.

 

[Gary W. Graley]

WOW, amazing grind there, love that!
just saw Sweeney Todd tonight, daughter's been bugging me
to rent it, I had to preview it to make sure it wasn't TOO horrific
what a story, but wow, what a blade...!

thanks for sharing!

on the next one to keep the mass down i hope to add 2 of the larger holes between the blade stop and the but screw taking the mass away closer to the pivot will not make the razor feel that much lighter but the 2 i hope to add will help greatly
G10 Vs CF not too much difference in mass. the little i used are ground away inside where you cant see to save weight and make room for the blade
biggest thing i hope will be the use of .080 Ti not the .125 that i used for this one

 

[Chefget]

OK Butch, bring 'er on down to the restaurant, I'm ready
