Charles R. Stevens Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Nathan, there is a thread by a nordic smith who specializes in razors, look it up and you will find everything you need. Well maybe not everything, but combine it with the knife making lesson plan and the other tidbits on general smithing...yiu get the idea. I stand corrected, Belgian smith. Look at Snailforge's posts.

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Www.badgerandblade.com has a section in the forums on making straights. You can also check out www.straightrazorplace.comA straight is on my to do list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffrat Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Try a youtube search. There's probably a dozen videos out there.Oh yeah, I think most straight razors are hollow ground.

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 There are some flat ground straights that are referred to as wedges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
