SC125 steel in fossil walrus scales
A new razor in SC125 steel, differentially heat treated. The scales are fossil walrus rib. I stabilized the rib in clear epoxy resin, removed the sides of the rib to expose the resin cast marrow, and then cut it lengthwise to make 2 matched scales. The walrus rib comes from Deniz at Mermaid Supplies.
The hamon is a little closer to the edge than I anticipated, but shouldn't be a problem for the next 200 years of use.
Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

Here is the above razor with the matching brush.
This was a multi-national project.
Bruno: Blade and scales
Randydance: Bison ankle bone and stabilization
Me: Sawing and drilling the ankle bone, mounting the knot
Rezdog: Knot for the brush

I've shaved ten times with this razor.
I have to say the SC125 takes one of the best edges I have ever encountered. It is a joy to use.If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.

Thanked: 315First time seeing this razor. That is a beauty. The scales looked a little more tapered which I like.
No rule says you can't have the hamon closer to the edge, Bruno.- Joshua
