    Default W2 San Mai Custom

    This was a recent order for one of my "Odin's Edge" razors designed after a Heljestrand MK32 that is in the new owner's hands.

    This one is san mai construction with W2 core and A203E cladding.
    Around 13/16-7/8 in size featuring a double stabilizer grind and 1/2 - 3/4 hollow grind

    Scales are green dyed stabilized snakeskin sycamore.

    Thanks for looking!





    Apparently didn't snap a very good photo of the grind, lol.

    Beautiful work Joe I'm in a very excited state everytime I see one of these as my Joe Edson "Odin's Edge" is about to be crafted over the coming weeks could be the first in the UK? definitely the first one in Wales.

    Nice. What did you etch it with?

    There is a charm in this shaver. Like a pen shape and color, everything is done successfully.
