    I remember the other TI damascus listing, and this one has that strange polished area below the etching too....It's not even at all. The spine has those spots that look like corrosion and if you look a the close-up picture of the blade itself, the spine looks more worn in the middle and doesn't look even...

    If it shaves well I guess it doesn't matter, but if I were to spend over $200 on a razor I would want it looking better. Unless I had the intention of re-furbishing it and reselling it at a higher price...

    I remember the last one from this seller as well, definately not TI scales and this one looks like the edge has been on a belt sander. Looks like some serious pits on the spine.

    it is the same seller, so i suspect it came from the same place the first one came from.
    most certainly rather odd looking.
    the mop scales could be considered an upgrade from the ti ones, definitely not fitting the razor though.

    I saw the other one as well, and I believe they are a limited hand forged damascus.

    Odd looking razors imo.
