15/16 explosion damascus in mammoth tusk Ivory
This is a razor I finished today. The size is 15/16. The steel is explosion Damascus. I'm experimenting a bit with different types of Damascus, and how they survive forging and hollow grinding. Many things that look great in a knife just look awful on a razor because the patterns don't survive hollow grinding in many cases, especially near the edge. The steel here was made by Maarten Van Hattem. I didn't know what this would look like before I started. All I knew was that it was 'wild' so even if the pattern washed out, at least it would be chaotic.
The scales are mammoth tusk ivory, with a black horn wedge.
