Thread: 8/8 SuperClean with Steller's sea cow rib

After a long time I found the time to finish some straight razors again. This one is the first from my new shop. The blade is from C145 Super Clean - a high carbon steel with a very fine grain. 1/4 hollow ground, long tail with a handle from Steller's sea cow rib ( Steller's sea cow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ). The spacer ist from mammoth ivory.

Just amazing use of materials, a classic inspired design, and I especially like the transition from shank to tail.....Wow!

Very Nice.I work with seacow bone quite a bit,very nice material.
How thick are the scales?

Thank you. The scales are approx. 4 mm thick.

Your excellent work as always. Seems the new shop is working out nicely for you. : )

Fun stuff to work with,getting hard to find and real spendy

top job bud, liking the curves.

glad you found the itme to do the work on you razors,.. I always admire our work !

I've told myself that I'm thru buying custom razors time and time again.
Then something like this pops up and it is very evident that I am in fact not.
Not at all.
Your scale design, choice of materials and craftmanship is both unique and of the highest quality out there.

Beautiful work, Mr. Buddel. I have some Mammoth ivory that is just about long enough for scales. I am waiting until I have a little bit more experience making razors before I cut into it. Thanks for the inspiration!
