    Default 7/8 Damascus Western Bamboosori

    This was a custom order that came to me to make a western (symmetrical) grind version of my "bamboosori" model. It was requested that the handle be darker etched than the blade face and also to include a thumbnotch. The thumbnotch was interesting as the handle natural swoops upwards, but we came to an agreement on how to incorporate.

    To tie it together the new owner is a fellow Broncos fan so we can up with some bronco themed storage "scales" for the razor when not in use.

    Thanks for looking!

    Wow Joe, that's awesome. The blade guard is cool too, and the matching paracord is a nice touch. What were the steels you used and how long is the blade/overall length?

    Hi Mikeo,

    I purchased this damascus blank awhile ago - mix is 1084/15n20 in a raindrop pattern. Thanks for the compliments.

    Hi guys,

    I just joined here so, Howzit from South Africa!

    I own 2 of Joes razors and i friggin love them! I actually have a third on the way from Joe, my first Kamisori(Bamboosori) I was very nervous jumping into the game and spending that amount of cash( you wont BELIEVE the grief the Mrs gave me) on a razor, but i am 100% satisfied with my decision and Joe is an absolute gentleman, he was very helpful and always there to answer dumbass questions from the word go.
    So anyone looking at getting a new razor, have a look at edsonrazors.com you wont regret it.

    Cheers guys.

    This is an incredible piece.

    Would you post an image with the blade guard on?
