This L.R. Harner B52 has a huge frame. It feels like your shaving with a mini hatchet.

That big Joseph Rodgers has me drooling!
Those 3 are disgusting. Send them to me, so you don't have to look at them everyday! 
Wostenholm, over 10/8 by a touch. My tallest blade.
Some more of my rodgers that mycarver restored. I've actually been using it often, it's very easy to use.

Possibly my favorite blade I have ever seen and some of Marks best work.
Man I miss that blade.
Thanks Matt!
