Custom Stub Tail in Horn

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.

 

Nice work!

 

Very, very nice! :happy096

 

That is one sharp (no pun intended) looking razor! happy088

How different is it using a "smiling" razor than one with a straight edge?

 

Wow! Great work! Beautiful piece.

 

I must agree... and I don't even have 1 straight.

 

Dog gone that's nice. Great work Brian.

 

That sure does look sweet! great job!

 

Beautiful Brian, just beautiful.:drool

 

Wow, that just might be one of the nicest looking straights I have seen.

If could ask.. what would something like that cost to purchase??

 

Wow, that is a large piece of beautiful looking blade!

 

Wow what a beautiful razor...Awsome work

 

Looks like something that should be used in the show Mad Men.

 

Thanks for the nice words. She is for sure a big one. It's hard to make a small 8/8 that has a cutting edge of 3 1/4". If you drew a line straight across the top and measured the widest part if would be a hair over 9/8.
