The thing about a straight razor is you never know that you cut yourself until you see the blood 😂 Nice work!

great work, you should get a large magnet and put it on the bottom of the horn of ur anvil, it reduces ringing alot. Could use a welding magnet, I use just a large one from an old large Speaker

I bought some from harbor freight, they're a little janky, but they reduce the ringing so much!

BIGTIME shortcut from someone who does razors for a living. Cut your blanks in a diagonal line. The resulting taper if WAY faster to forge into a tail/handle.

That's shark for a knife but dull for a straight razor

@WhiteShepherdsForge 2 күн бұрын

Tell me how you know its dull since it shaved pretty well last time i used it.

As someone who hones straight razors and has forged a couple, he is correct. The edge on a straight razor is so fine cutting paper like you did would destroy the edge. There is a big difference between "razor" sharp for knives and actual razor sharp. You should be tree topping arm hairs, not cutting paper.

@@shawnfeile Cutting paper is not that good for the edge, sure. But it does not destroy it. The ideal test to see if its sharp is to actually shave with it.
