    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.

    Nice. What did you etch it with?

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