    Default 2 more in san mai damascus

    I finished 2 more of these razors with a core of O2 steel and sides of Howard Clark O2/L6 Damascus steel. The scales are hybrid stabilized burl cap / colored resin. It is wonderful material except I can only get it in 5.25" length so I cannot do long tang razors in this material, and the stuff is absolute murder on my belt saw. I use the good M42 saws from tuffsaws, but cutting the blocks lengthwise a couple of times all but ruins the blade.

    The white translucent material is glow in the dark material. yaay!

    The one with blue scales reminds me of an ocean & land mass.

    I was seriously considering asking about your source for that shokwood, as it only can be found in 5.25". Now i know. Those look great Bruno, I cant wait to see mine

    The blue on looks a globe of the earth.
