Finished today. A wootz steel razor with fossilized mammoth tusk ivory scales. This wootz was made by Evrahin Baran. Etching was done in ferric chloride. Wootz and Ivory is a perfect combination.
Some time ago I started using nitric acid for etching, but the wootz I have from Evrahim contains a lot of manganese, and the only decent way I have found to etch it is deep etching using ferric chloride.
