French point ~ 8/8 ~ 1/4 Hollow ~ G10 Black

**Maximilian** · 03-23-2011, 01:30 AM

Here's one I worked on in increments and finally was able to finalize today.

It's an 8/8 (just a fraction under), 1/4 hollow, rounded French point. The cutting edge is 2.70". Steel is 1095. The blade itself was satin finished while the spine and tang are mirror polished. Added some jimps too.

Scales are black G10 with a tapered G10 Hunter Orange wedge. Nickel silver pins and SS/Brass washers. Double pins at the wedge side.

I did have a complete shave with the razor and I'm still smiling, it was that good. The edge pops hair without even the slightest effort.

Wow Max, I love this razor!!! It has so many of the elements that I love that are hard to find all together (specifically 8/8, French point, 1/4 hollow & Jimps). Very well done Sir!
