Stormcrow Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Beautiful! What handle material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Good looking razor. A straight is on my to-do list. What alloy did you use for the cutting edge? I just bought my first one yesterday at a garage sale. Looks to be an Oxford Razor by the Germanium Cutlery Co in Germany. It even had the original box that had a price of $3 on it. I think I did pretty good for $1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Sells Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 impressive work, and I like the design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latticino Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Lovely clean work. Your hollow grinds are intimidating, do you work with a water spray to keep cool during grinding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jclonts82 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Now THAT is a hollow grind! what are the dimensions? looks to be about 7/8ths of an inch? I'm currently working on one, but do not have a contact wheel in the traditional sense. Just trying to use the top of a 4X36 belt grinder meant for wood, and free-handing it at that.. Its not easy. But i'm going for more of a near wedge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your hollow grinds are intimidating, do you work with a water spray to keep cool during grinding? No, I just dip the blade when I feel any heat. I keep my bare finger tips on the back of the contact point and with the blade so thin it is easy to feel any heat build up long before reaching the temper temperatures. You can't use much pressure anyway without fighting deflection on such a thin section. I run about 450 SFM when finishing the edge. 2 hours ago, Jclonts82 said: Now THAT is a hollow grind! what are the dimensions? looks to be about 7/8ths of an inch?

But i'm going for more of a near wedge. Good eye. A 7/8 it is. I think several first razors and knives have been done on those 4x36 belt sanders. The main drawback IMO is the high belt speed. On a heavy grind you should be able to keep your heat down pretty easy though. Light pressure and bare hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with all makes, but I know both mine and my father-in-law's are, and both are different manufacturers. I imagine most others are as well.
