8/8 full hollow Damascus Razor
This razors costs me a lot of nerves. The pattern welted steel is from 1.3505/1.2442. Actually the best working steel combination for straight razors, that I know. Milling the tang costs several hours and a new equipment to fix the razor on the milling cutter. After that, full concentration to grind this razor full hollow. Every step could be the last and trash the whole razor. The tank is covered with mammoth ivory.
It was necessary to fix the mammoth temporary and grind them in shape with the tang. After that I removed it and etched the steel. After etching I had to glue the mammoth finally exactly on his place. To protect the etching on the razor a final grindig from steel and mammoth was not possible. Only the gluing was more then a 1 hour each side.
The handle is from desert iron wood with a mammoth wedge. Hope you like it.
