amazing

What type clay did he use

beautiful work thank you for sharing this makes me wonder what else we could etch

Thank you for the videos. I enjoy learning and watching your craftsmanship, tips and solutions. Beautiful razors, keep up the great work

Sorry I dont watch videos from people using inches

Hi my name is Ben i have a new Boker and somehow one of the rings on my pin in the middle of my handle fell off. How much would you charge to fix it for me? I don’t know if you can make look the same as the other ones or not. I’m new to straight razors.

Hope all is well for ya, and that you’re still doin the stuff you like. Your blades were always lovely. If you do ever decide to make a video again do be sure it’s for the sake of enjoying the process and making something you’re pleased with. I’m hoping to get back into blade smithing some day down the line when I can get the space for it, and when it comes time to make a razor I know where to look for some reference material.

Great job 👍What diameter is the grinder wheel and the size of the arbor hole? Thanks

To be extra safe, I with take off the blade, get a marker, trace it on some shiny plastic, cut it out, then put it back

I'm going to attempt this on an old antique hunting knife I found without it's scales. Going to re-scale it in cow bone. The existing pin holes are slightly larger than 1/16", so I hope it works. Tappy tap tap.

Really nice work!!

Excellent video, ultra clear and to the point and with unarguable results Thank you

Hey friend really miss your videos. You single handedly got me interested in forging and making razors. It seems you're not going to put out any more videos. I was wondering what the chances we're you would sell your most inspired fan (me) your Japanese nakayama stone? If not, I understand. Kind of a big thing to ask for I know. But I would be a great steward of it. Please let me know If this is even a remote possibility. Thank you sir

I can see 2x72 grinder have come along way in 11 years. Great job thanks for sharing

این مشعل باز شهری کار میکنه دیگه ؟؟چه ژیگلوری روش بستی

Hello Charlie, if the spine of the razor is flat you don’t really need to know where you need to grind more. You should just grind until you reach an apex, the razor should shave without any edge on it. By putting an edge at 10 thousands ultimately you keep the edge thicker than it needs to be. I used your methods for a long time and you have taught me so much, i have watched your whole channel more than anyone alive i think and i thought i could give something back. Thanks for everything !

But I believe the ones I need are made out of hardened steel. Reason I need these is because they cannot be bought without paying European shipping cost ! Any ideas!?! I can find the right size ID and the right size OD but the thickness seems to be the problem. Can I buy thick i ones and sand them down to preferred thickness?

I’m not sure if you are still around sir but I need a custom thrust washer for a dirtbike

Wait, what? Where's the sound of razor cutting the hair? It's sounds so quiet. Never have been saw such a great honed and stropped razor.

Best rolling x demonstration around. I wish there were more honing vids like this. No nonsense or voodoo!

A while back I quit using the assemble expensive deposable razors, bought a safety razor handle, I still have disposable blades, the blades cost about 6 cents. I don't do and upstroke it is too close. I also discovered doing so causes the hair to grow straight out instead of down, so when you grow a beard it causes that poofy short beard. I have never use a straight razor, any suggestions. I am jeweler I had a barber friend ask me to make them a straight razor any advise you can offer me? I will not be forging it 1. I don't have a forge anvil etc. I will be creating with files and belt sander not designed for making knives but it has the curve for the hollow.

this was cool man, thanks

I have a few vintage SHEFFIELD made straight razors, but I've never dared to use one on myself, mainly because as I've never been shown how.

nice job

Hard work

Great

👍👍👍 bos

Great neck shave video.

saya duka idenya

I lookt everywhere for the pins and bolts to hold the wedge in place before the pining.

Sorry. Old video. Can you etch Gold into it too? Or silver.

Several techniques here were new to me. Many thanks. Love the localization potential with woods . . . honey mesquite and Osage orange, as examples, in my area.

You think you'll have arm surgery or arm problems later. I'm planning on knee surgery in my future. Kneescarwnt very good

Did you keep this one?

You can see how I made a razor with engraving on it kzbin.info/www/bejne/foqqhnlui9mMg8k

Amazing! You are so cool·~

Doesn’t that damages the heat treatment

Great Job - Love the brush - Greetings from Germany winni

Thanks very much! I need to drill a hole in my anvil now 😊

Thank's for the video😁 This help me to see how happend this fenomen

Thank You very much!

Kinda reminds me of a Japanese Kamisori razor...sure it looks like a tiny little axe but it's a single edged razor that doesn't have a pivot to it...though those kinds apparently did exist according to old pictures...they just don't look quite like the kind we're used to today.

Sounds like I'm breathing into my Xbox mic lol

Thanks for this. Just started bladesmithing and the etched look is really slick !

l have one NOS in my special collection. lt is really a beautiful razor. Happy to have it

Love that little anvil my man!! Perfect for straight razor work. I have a question: when you are drawing out a blade width-wise, do you use the bladed end of the hammer rather than the blunt end? I know you’re using a ballpeen, but when using a standard blacksmith hammer, one end is bladed, the other is normal. I apologize for my lack of correct blacksmith vernacular 😊

Wondering about the effect of G B Venturi on your ststem. Most other "torches have venturies at both ends and the cone of the flames sticks out further than yours seems to

Something you never see with other knife/razor makers is them using it as intended. Great job for going the extra mile.👍

Very easy to follow, seen a few straight razor peening videos and this is the one that made me most confident learning about it!

Steel?
