Burkburnett, February, There will be a post on Straight Razor Place Forums, when we get the detail worked out.

surely there must be some multi layered steel being made as it looks like a lot of bigger hammering on large billets for a Razor blank, great work guys look forward to seeing the end results

[@lewisrazors]

You are right, most of that hammering was on small multi layered billets.

Guys, you fellows!

[@lewisrazors]

Thank you

[@sesapex]

Where did you guys get the anvils you are using and how are they so quiet?

Jake Akers - I know Charlie made them from 4140 steel, but I am also wondering how he mounted them to be so quiet 😮.. I have a 11" long, 4"X4" square, heat treated post anvil made of 4140 as well that I'm trying to figure out how to mount in a way that makes it as quiet as possible, due to where I live... Any tips Charlie?!

[@lewisrazors]

I put the solid part in a tube, it is setting on pea gravel, with wedges on the side. The pea sized gravel dampens a lot of noise and makes a good base for the anvil portion to rest on.

[@lewisrazors]

The metal for the anvils was scrounged from scrap yards, lots of looking around.
