8/8 Custom damascus with camel bone inlayed tang

Hi Everyone!

This is a project which is going on since may, and now at last it is finished :) This was my most difficult razor to make yet, a lot of the finer details made my head ache in the process. But here is the finished product, I hope you will like it! The design was made by the buyer, and I modified it a bit to the best of my knowledge to make it not just nice, but as functional as a razor can be. So, on to the details:

The blade was forged from O1/15N20 damascus with a layer count of 216, the scales are made from macassar ebony, wedge and tang inlay are made from camel bone.

I'm speechless amazing! Keep going this way!

wow a piece of art! love it!. the tang camel bone inlay is very cool.

(PS Still believe in Santa) :p

Yea this one is right up my ally

You can definitely see the labour that went into that piece. Nice clean work and eye catching.

I love it! However I have to use the heel on my neck and that heel would be disaster for me. Otherwise, "Over the top!!"

Fantastic Craftsmanship

Really perfect ... classic with a new over-the-lines shape !! :chapeau

great work,.. love it, the wedge details, tang inlays, I agree about the heel... altogether A+ :)!

Will someone please repost the photos from the initial post? For some reason, they never open for me. The closest I've come in many tries are several blue framed question marks. Yes, I am signed in.
Thanks

Amazing job. This is my favorit. :tu

Speechless just speechless

Ahh that looks amazing :) The owner of a razor like that has to be very pleased, and the maker of it should be pleased as well. Very nice job.

Sweeet! I can see how much thought and work went into this one. I especially like the look of the dark etch you achieved with the o1 and 15n20 combination, not always easy. Best Regards Ken

Wow. Looks amazing, but aggressive. love the tang.

That sir is amazing! Well done on all counts. The tang inlays look very clean.

Thanks for your nice words, I tried my best at this one. This was the first time I worked with damascus, so I was really worried if I would ruin it or not.

Like Richard said, Over the top!! It is just an eye catcher for me!!

Very nice work ! Aggressive elegance is the only way I could describe it.

Yes, that is a stunner...aggressive elegance is an excellent way to describe it.

Congratulations!

+1 to all what they said!
You have great skills.
Very unique and well executed.

Excellent work! Yes I understand about some projects taking forever to finish. We shouldn't count the hours because flipping burgers would be more profitable. But creating a work of art is its own reward, and very fulfilling. this razor is such a masterpiece. Well Done!/

very nice indeed! I love the tang

The lines are bold but manage to be flowing at the same time. A true work of art! I can see why it took a few months to complete - art is not always accomplished in a day!

This is definitely your boldest razor yet, and the craftsmanship looks incredible.

Breath taking, stunning, beautiful jeness.
You are going to have a very proud owner on your hands.

Seriously? How do you guys do this stuff... man I'm so jealous! Gorgeous work by the way.

I'm throwing in a wild guess here: Dedication, practice and time? ;)

Great looking razor! The damascus looks great, and I really like the shape of the tang.

Loving the scale shape against that wedge. You can definitely see the amount of work that went into this one.

Don't think I've seen anyone ask yet, how is the shave?!

Just chiming in with everyone else. This is an amazing razor.

I love that razor, it is very nice and i love the shape!

For real, my jaw dropped. That's a piece of art. The creative man who can make art into something one can hold, use, and become connected with, is truly a gifted man indeed.

This is so so so beautiful. I hope to own something like this one day.

I think I am in love, I may even sale my soul for this, if I hadnt already for the abality to be left handed. (someone lied it wasnt worth it) but honestly I love this razor and the inlays truly make it.

She is gorgeous!!! Very nice looking razor. Would love to have such a unique piece in my rotation some day..

Absolutely stunning, but have to agree with Geezer, I would carve myself up on the heel.
