A Custom Straight Razor Inspired by a Wood Cutting Axe

By March 10, 2015July 11th, 2018In the workshop

Many interesting custom straight razors are being finished and leaving my shop this week. I’m starting off the Monday with this razor, an all American inspired piece.

I used cherry wood for the handles, U.S. O1 tool steel for the blade, and styled the design to be similar to a wood cutting axe. It’s a 6/8ths wedge, and has a nice fit from toe to tip. Great in the hand.

Stay tuned, many more custom razors to be revealed…
