Thread: Jekyll and Hyde razors 1095

Here is a pair of razors I started with the same basic blade shape and took two different approaches. Both blades are 1095 the white is micarta, the black is G10 they are both 1/4 hollows. Jekyll and Hyde...maybe, Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.....maybe, whatever it is I had fun with the two.

I love them both, but I think I'd have to give my vote for Mr. Hyde.

Love the approach and both look fantastic. I think I lean a little to Mr. Hyde as well.

They are both cool razors. I tend to like the textural play and the flaming hamon on the Hyde razor.

I like the other one but my personal taste tends to shy away from polished steel surfaces. I find the more "cut back" finish and heavy texture contrast on the Hyde razor very appealing. I'm one of those goofballs who would junk all the chrome on a Harley and replace it with tarnished bronze.

I'm loving that simple yet elegant spine work there on the good Doctor
I know you have quite the eye for the more distressed, 'primitive' aesthetic - and indeed it has become your signature style, but Charlie, when you want to you can really produce some high-class cutlery, and I for one wouldn't mind seeing more of a blend of the styles - much like you've done right here. Great craftsmanship Charlie, as always.

Amazing work (again)

The black one just screams EVIL

great work! looks fantastic

Absolutely beautiful set Charlie and they compliment each other so well in that Yin Yang kind of way.
Gotta say I do love the black one, the textures and that wicked hamon, just awesome.

Definitely not Jekyll and Hyde, Charlie.

Hyde was the ugly version of Jekyll - he was the evil half of the man; as to appearance - people described him as inexplicably ugly. That doesn't work here.
Your razors are too beautiful to be Jekyll and Hyde.

oh to own the pair!!! you are not helping me control my RAD!
