Antique Hoosier

“Aircooled”
Oh My!!!!!! Joe!!!! This is Custom Knife High Art Territory. Wonderful!
This is a 31/32-8/8 Custom Non-Folder I finished up recently. Steel is 1095 and razor is a 1/4 hollow grind. Spanish point with an interrupted notch. Spine work and a pretty good grip for stropping and shaving. It is acid etched to bring out the hamon line from hardening with clay and has a nice satin finish throughout.

What an eyecatching design! The filework really sets it off. I love the aged finish with the modern lines. :thumbup:
 
Finished this up last night. It is my take on the Frank Warner Bird wing I guess. Blade is made from Hitachi White steel and carries a 2" cutting edge. 6/8-13/16 wide and quarter hollow grind with a wicked french point. Vine style file work above and below for the jimps. Scales are made from blue stabilized maple burl and is wedge less with torx screws holding them together. Third pin catches the blade in the nook so that it doesn't go through the scales. Took a wicked edge and the point bit me a little last night in my test shave.

Hmmm....expanding your field a little.

Nice and matchy. The shape of the brush looks very comfortable, long for a deep mug or bowl.

I did a few brushes a couple years back. Someone who just bought a razor of mine gave me the idea to make a matched set. This is the first prototype.
 
I tried to get off the straight razor train for a while, but this thread pulls me back every time! Just the pictures, I know I'll never own one of those bad boys!
 
Here's one just finished up.
7/8's monkey tail with a slight Spanish point.
Horn scales, bone wedge with stacked washers

Alright I know mine don't really compare to the beautiful customs in this thread but here is one indie a light clean up on. It was pretty clean to begin with but it needed the age spots and patina buffed off. Now she's all nice and shiny.

6/8 #14 PIK(ERN) 3/4 hollow.
