Thought it was about time I treated myself, so in time for my birthday I made this is 8/8" Sheffield 01 kamisori, 1/4 hollow heat treated to 62 rockwell with vine spinework and curled tail with 2.3kt & 0.3 kt inlaid rubies ( my birthstone ) & 5300 year old English bog oak blade guard, with pre ban Ivory spacers.
Honed on a naniwa progression and finished on a shoubudani asagi.
Really pleased with the way it turned out cheers Edward Brice.

Wow, that's stunning!!

Well done.

Gorgeous...
Simply gorgeous.
That is a very nice birthday present, to yourself. :)

Quite impressive sir!!

And happy birthday, that's one sharp razor :D

Sort of like baking your own birthday cake, but way cooler..
Really nice looking blade.
Cheers!

Happy birthday! What a gift!
Spectacular razor. Wow!
