I have many hobbies, I make one off custom straight razors and knives and I also do pinstriping. Like any artist, I have had a love for art all of my life. Over the years I have dabbled in many forms of art. I have always felt the need to have a creative outlet outside of my regular work schedule.
Valentini Garage Works is the brand I started to give a home to all of my endeavours. I post on a regular basis all items that I have completed and I have up for sale. If you would like to check out some of my current builds (works in progress) or, my past projects, you are more than welcome to check out my FaceBook and Instagram pages (see the links provided). If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message.
Thanks for looking.

a few past projects
This one stays in the family.
This razor was made for my daughter Jordan. She is a wonderfully talented hairstylist and interested in barbering as well. This razor was made from 01 tool steel. The wood for the handle was made from the root of a Cedar tree that I cut down years ago at our home.
French Point Ladder Pattern Damascus Straight Razor
I use a variety of materials for my razors. This razor was made from a piece of Ladder Pattern Damascus which I acquire from a steel maker in the USA. The handles are made from dyed and stabilized Box Elder with white G10 liners. All quality products in every hand made razor.
Rain Drop Damascus Skinner
Along with hand made straight razors, I also make knives. With my knives I also use a variety of blade materials (01, D2, and Damascus) This is a hunting knife made for skinning. On the larger side but the customer is a larger gentleman. The blade is Rain Drop Damascus, handles are Cocobolo with white G10 spacer and liners and segmented with white G10 and carbon fiber. I also made the shealth for this knife.
