My most used knife recently, though it is a little bit of a baby compared to some of the other knives here :sweat_smile:

I had to re-temper it because I didn't get it right the first time i tempered it and so it wasn't holding an edge worth a damn but now it holds a scary good edge,

in fact its the best and sharpest razor i own and its the 2nd knife that ive ever made from scratch,
it started as just a regular flat bar from the metal fab supply shop and I hand forged it all by my hifi self lol i named it the whale tail lol
I made it because with a regular straight razor its hard to get spots like on your nech and cheeks with a regular straight razor but with this curved edge you can get a good close as can be shave without having to stretch your face and or nech to create a flat surface for the razor so this shape make shaving 10x easier and its only cost me like 2$ in steel to make and its shaves better then sub 400$ razors lolz

Wow. There's a thing in writing called a ".". It's good to use sometimes.
With that said, it's cool you made yourself a razor. Which metal(s) did you use for this forge? How long is the expected life of the edge sharpness over time? Kinda curious.

My new 9 inch overall Mago Italian made Out The Front dagger blade stiletto switchblade and big brother 11 inch OTF.
I usually carry a 9 inch spring assist stiletto, as switchblades are legal to possess but a no no to carry one. Or two.
If I had it to do over i'd have got another 11 inch. The extra handle makes using the slide to open it easier and it's 3 times as scary.

I picked this little boot knife up for an EDC about a month ago. It was cheap, it's solid and does the job.
