First Straight Razor 6/8 in O-1 steel with Purple Heart Scales



I ground this blade from 3/16" thick O-1 tool steel using a 10" contact wheel on a KMG grinder. The scales were made using purple heart and the blade was pinned with brass rod, stainless steel washers and polyethylene washers on the inside of the scales.  This razor was honed by Doc226 and is an amazing shaver. I instantly started a second razor that follows these lines with the exception of a few dimensions.
