Here is my daily use straight razor, made in 1899...  And my backup straight...  Nothing like a good straight razor shave.... |

Ive a lot of blades, but some are my favorites... the first is my Sgian Dubh, I forged the blade myself, made the handle I made from a piece of Lake Superior driftwood. It's sharp as can be and the first knife I ever made  Excellent piece of work. A fine tribute to Scottish culture too. |

I have no blades... just a folding knife that my father gave to me years ago when I was ~10 to protect myself if I needed to.  It's similar to this one...  |

Considered working on a file pattern for your signature? |

Sorry for the delay in response!
I used 01 tool steel, forged it to shape from bar stock and finished with a 90 degree die grinder with sanding disks, hand polished with wet sanding, buffed with jewelers rouge and my polishing wheel. The file work was a first attempt as well.
As for the signature, no idea how to do that!

My second attempt, same steel, a full v grind on the blade (tapers from spine to edge smoothely) with a full distel taper (tapering from handle to tip smoothely) I've got a pic of the filework roughed in before I cleaned it up.   |

The handle is made from lightning struck wood, the guard is going to be a bronze casting of Mjölnir, Thor's hammer. Here is my test printing of it to be sure it was viable, I need to adjust the size, do a slow print and make the mold to have it cast.  |
