An 8/8 razor in O2L6 Damascus steel, with Patriot kirinite scales. It's my implementation of a vintage Sheffield design with a 'me' touch to it :)
The Damascus is from a billet made by Howard Clark. The L6 layers color a bit darker than steel with a higher nickel content, giving the razor an overall darker look after ferric chloride etching.

Other then the size of the blade it doesnt scream vintage Sheffield at all to me. The Damascus is nice, dont get the tail unless you want to hang it up, im sure its a fantastic shaving blade.
The blade portion was copied from a vintage Sheffield with the barbers notch, smile and filework. And the from the notch over the shoulder it becomes modern. Bascially I started with a pic of a FBU I once had with similar filework on top of the spine, with a notch point. And then I used pencil on the tang of the blank I'd forged to make something different.
Everything is alright! Do not leave anyone indifferent, I would like a long time to look at all of these lines. Besides the holes on the tail ...
