    Default 1095, Red G10 with a Monky Tail

    Here is a new one, the blade is 1095, the scales are G10. The blade is about 7/8s or 13/16s depending on where you measure it. The temper lines/activity are a witness to how the blade was held in the quench oil.

    It looks like a Charlie Lewis custom.

    I really like that the spine looks uneven (not uniformly smiley). Whether this actually is true or just my eyes playing tricks on me is one question. Whether it was intentional is another question. Nonetheless, I think it looks great because it adds to the rustic, raw, unrefined aspects of the razor. Very organic.

    You are right it is not a traditional smile shape, I put the apex of the bend in the first third of the blade then straightened out the bend from there. I think it makes a cool looking, functional shape that is a little bit out of the ordinary.

    Thank you to everybody for the kind words and encouragement.
