Custom Stub Tail in Horn

[MileMarker60]

Here's one that's a little different (at least for me)
The blade is 3 1/4" long cutting edge, 8/8 tapering to 7/8 Spanish point with a smile.
Swayback spine with hash mark jimps on top.
For my modest grinding skills, this blade was a challenge. The long smiling blade and short tail made for a interesting time in front of the grinder.
I happy with the way she came out.
Scales are horn with ivory colored acrylic, silver pins and small ss washers.

Very nice, there's some lucky new owner out there!

 

[MileMarker60]

Thanks for the nice words.
Just noticed I didn't put a pic of full blade, so here you go.

It's pictures like these that make me want to start straight shaving. That's a beautiful razor, sir!

Thanks,
It doesn't take something fancy to jump into straight's
There are plenty of straights out there in the $25-50 range (and cheaper as well) that will shave with the best of them.

Really nice, and I love smiley wedge-ish blades...

A funtional work of art! Amazing razor!

 

[global_dev]

wow, that is ridiculous, i would probably get rid of most of collection for that piece. Unfortunately, i kind of enjoy a bit of a longer tail than a stub...

Awesome work!

 

[Obiwan]

Fantastic work. I love the spanish point. I'm surprised the proud new owner hasn't come forward yet.

Modest grinding skills???

This is beautiful!

 

[honed]

Looking at it again I must say that this is surely not something a person with "Modest" grinding skills can achive.
This is the work of a really talented craftsman.

Again, very impressive!
If the owner doesn't show up, I could take one for the team & offer it a good & caring home

Very nice work!

 

[Joe Edson]

Another nice one Brian! Keep it up!

 

[MileMarker60]

Thanks for the kind words.
My grinding is getting better but compared to others, I have modest grinding skills

 

[MilkyLee]

That is one bad mamajamba! Excellent work Brian.
