That is great Fred. Very nice.

At the AR knife show I order a chef knife from J. Neilson. We talked for several minutes about what I was wanting. I wanted a smaller blade (8") with micarta scales and an antiquing finish. Well I was not expecting it till June or July. Well I got a surprise Saturday. It was delivered to me...

Wow , beautiful, outstanding and much more come to mind!!!!

OK the pit was deep near the edge but it came out. If it hadn't it would have been a nick when they go to hone it. I can grind the edge down past this point but it would take away from the width of the razor. Picture of the pit near edge. Picture of it after hand sanding. I started off with...

Kelly you are right, but I wanted to show a couple of ways to do it. Just like with making a knife with files and then with a grinder.

That is cool. Very nice and beautiful work.

Now thats a knife!!!!

Good looking knife. Like that shape.

Very nice.

That came out sweeeeet!!!!!!!!

So from here we can go two different ways. We will go with the hand sanding right now. I started off with a 220 grit then went to 320, 400 and finally 600. I didn' get all the pitting out. some was too deep and I would have taken too much off of the razor. So after this I grabbed good old...

Rex, glad everything is going well and hope the best for you and your family.

Hey James you might try lamp oil. Wayne Goddard uses it in one of his video and said that is all he uses. Just go to walmart to get it. That is where he said he got it at. Just a thought.

Ok thought I would share my project with everyone. I got these straight razors very cheap. There are reasons for this, most of them are in very bad shape and some are in fair shape. The first pic is a group shot. Now you can see why they went so cheap. What I am going to do is remove...

Very nice, beautiful work.

Can't wait to see it finished.
