    Default Wootz and mammoth ivory

    Here is another one in wootz. It's a large one. OVer 3" blade length, and about 9/8 in width. The blade is etched a bit darker that usual. The scales are mammoth tusk core ivory. All in all the perfect combination of darkness and light. In the tang you can see an imperfection in the wootz, caused by a void in the ingot. Thankfully it was not in the blade section because I would have scrapped it.

    Imperfection or not Bruno, that razor is really one of the best (I think) that you have produced so far. Outstanding work!
