    Default 2 new damascus razors

    2 new razors in O2 15N20 Damascus. The steel was made by Maarten Van Hattem. This is one of our steel experiments for patterning. I like this one for simple random pattern. thick shiny layers, with thinner light layers in between. The one with the fins is a Draco design with green pepper jade kirinite scales. The other one is a Predator in Toxic Orange and Black scales (aka traffic cone scales as one of my customer's kids called it).

    Both of those razors are awesome!

    The second one with the green scales however, reminds me of a medieval impliment of destruction!! It doesn't get much cooler than that. My only question is how strop friendly is that spine? It kinda looks like it could eat a strop for breakfast, but I know looks can be deceiving.

    I should have mentioned that. The fins curve back inwards, slope inwards towards the center of the spine, and are completely rounded.
    You can strop your heart out and your strop won't be affected in any way.

    Never saw one of your Predators that I didn't like Bruno, the green scaled one is certainly a unique piece. Great work !
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Those look wicked Bruno! Love them. I checked your site out and see lots of wonderful looking razors. Too bad they are out of my price range. Maybe someday I'll own one of your razors. I showed the pic of the green one to the wife and she said it looked like a mid-evil devise. She also said buy two. But I know she was being sarcastic. Bet she would throw a fit if I did buy two. ha.

    Tell her If you buy two I'll give you 10% discount. That way you can tell her you're making a profit.

    Although we both know it would probably be more like:

    I could say "your always are looking for a good deal. Sales and all." I still don't think it would work and your right. I'd be very happy I made a custom dog house on the patio this last spring, with heat and windows.

    I'll just wait and some day I'll be able to afford something special like that. Some day.
