This is one of my designs. Tell me what you think.

I see no one else has given any comment, I was going to, but couldn't come up with anything helpful.

To be honest, I'm a little confused by the design. the top layer design is pretty neat, but to be a shaver it will likely need more of a tang for grip and balance, and those hard corners seem like they could catch, having just a slight radius leading through the toe and heel would help. I'm also unsure about the design of the end of the razor, is that a separate piece, a bevel change?

Its a neat design, but as a shaver it does break a few rules, my understanding is that you want to keep an even distance between the spine and the edge for ease of honing, but in theory a change in thickness could compensate for that (more complexity than I'd be able to figure out I think)

The lower layer razor looks good as well, again same thoughts about the edge, but I see no difficulties with the spine work.
