Got some new toys in the mail today from www.classicshaving.com

Cant wait to play around with the new honing gear.

Got a pile of cpm154 cut out and profiled.  I need to cut the bevels in before i heat treat.

4 of the razors are cpm154 as a test to see how that steel works out shaving the other 5 are 52100 that i normally use.

just finished up.  Now and then i can get to something that not on order list. it keeps me fro going nuts adn lets me keep pushing myself artistically or try new skills. this one was forging as its one a the few knives i have even forged.


ok specs blade
front of handle to tip 314mm
edge 296mm
spine to edge 38mm
hollow ground back on a 4foot platen flat ground front bevel as about 7 degree so a 2ndary at the proper15 can be made and still have a super thin knife
spine is 4mm at the gaurd 3m half way and tapering all the way out to the tip

handle 165mm long 26-30mm tall 24-28mm wide (taper thinner to the front of the handle) to show about the balance of the OCT. the other sides at the front is 25 and 24mm so perty close to round
a light chamfer around the but to knock down the sharp edge

balance point is right at the plunge cut of the grind and the knife’s total weight is 335g

I am on hold for now on taking new knife orders as i am unsure how long it will take me to catch up on my backlog. I will now and then have a knife up on the available tab. I will also update as to when I feel I can start taking orders again and the revamped price list.

I am thankful that you have stopped by my site and sorry that i am unsure about my backlog time line.

Cause that took too long to get posted but i updated that and added a few for sale.

yep i got 3 ready to go asnd to cut down on clutter i am posting them together

they are all 52100 steel and have had cryo as part of the heat treat
all 3 have been first ground on a 10 inch wheel and then with a 6 inch to add a bit more hollow to the grind (its my middle of the road grind) the tangs are satin finished and the grinds are high belt finish
the spine thickness is right around .200 on all of them

the pivots are 1/8 inch folder pivots and use 2-56 screws. the handles are one piece and have been clearcoat sealed with CA
