Etched 440 and Zebrawood
This one I finally feel like I'm getting a hang of this straight razor thing. It's that piece where I felt like I worked out all the bugs and got it streamlined.
8/8 full hollow 440C blade, acid etched for fun for I really like the look it gives, little different.
Scales are Zebra Wood with a Buffalo Horn wedge.
Pictures were taken quick, I think I'll do some more with some better lighting, but I wanted to share. Thanks for looking guys!

That's probably the coolest shaver I've seen yet. I wish I could find that one for sale!

I would say you got the hang of it for sure. That is a bad a$$ looking blade.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Looks nice, hows the 440c hold an edge? Didn't know it would get hard enough to hold up, but then again I don't know much about steels other than O-1 & 1095

In the long term, honestly, I don't know. It's always held and excellent edge for my knives (I know a big difference) but I have a couple now that I've done and they've gotten through multiple shaves and still cut like a dream, I haven't noticed any difference between them and the 01 as far as longevity... only time will tell I suppose. It does give a very nice smooth shave though, and that's just off of a norton 8k... Originally Posted by shooter74743
