    Default 13/16" custom damascus straight razor

    A friend from Australia bought this damasus razor. Usually I am not satisfied with damascus steels edge but this razor shaves very well. Sharp and smooth like the best O1. I bought this steel from Russia (Zladinox). I am happy with it and hope the new owner will as well.


    • ZD-0801 damascus steel (y10A - 50XHM) hardened to HRC 61
    • 13/16"+ (22mm) wide blade
    • Quarter hollow grind
    • 72mm cutting edge
    • Buffalo horn scales with camel bone/brass wedge
    • Phosphor-Bronze pivot bearing washers
    • Brass wedge/spacer pin with stainless steel washers
    • Adjustable stainless steel pivot pins

    That is a good looking straight razor. The damascus looks nice and formal and the profile of blade and scales is perfect. You are going to have a happy customer.

    That's a very interesting and tight pattern of damascus.
    Almost kinda reminds me of a fingerprint.
    Beautifully done!

    This looks very clean! I especially like the scales. Do you have a website or place for people to place orders?
