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.
Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
