Straight Razor Caping Knife

(1/4) > >>

Dr. Ed Ashby:
Here's a pic of a caping knife I made for Harold Mulkey. His father was a barber, and Harold still had several of his father's straight razors - including two that were still new in the box. I fashoned one of the new ones into the blade, and added a 'footing splice' handle to it. Harrold found an old sheath that fit it perfectly, and he's already used the caper on a couple of deer in the last two weeks. It's sharp, and the hard steel really holds its shaving edge well. Just the thing for a caper.

Though I'd pass the idea along, in case any other Gang members have an old straight razor laying around that they just don't know what to do with.

Gene Roberts:
Great blade

guzzi2000:
Dr. Ashby how did you fashion the blade? And would that be a left wing single bevel?

vermonster13:
Nice job and I bet I can guess what it's as sharp as.
