Thread: Custom damascus razor - HG 7/8

great one, I like the details like groove on a wedge (did it once on a wooden wedge and was a pain to do with my tools, how did you make the groove if may I ask) and exposing the recon pattern transition/begining of a scales at the wedge part.. the flow of the lines,.. altogether very very nice

Very sleek.

To echo the others: super classy razor! Did you make the damascus?

I am glad you to like it.

Making the wedge was difficult. It took a lot of patience. I used fine files and chisels. I am not really satisfied with the scales, probably I will make a new one in the future. Or not.

The blade smith was made by one of my friends. He is a freetime smith. I have planed the razor and have done the ectching process.
You can see on the picture below how looked like the blade when I received it.

Beautiful work! The turquoise wedge is very nice, not to mention a great looking blade.

Thank you all for your kind words.

It's a beauty. I usually don't like Damascus blades but the stark white of the bone calms the look down. I also like it when the scales follow the curve of the spine, a really nice touch. That wedge design is something I've never seen before and adds a lot to the overall design and the veins in the turquoise complement the Damascus well too.

Fantastic all-around!!! I really like it!

love that wedge.
