    Yeah, I like that too. It combines several elements of old razor styles all in one.

    Great looking blade, on a personal note, I'm not a fan of wooden scales.

    the blade is not my merit. Met on ebay, it was expensive to buy, but I wanted to try, so I did. maybe not an exact copy, but very close. But I don't remember who was the prototype.

    A lot more to that grind than there would appear, Roy.

    Arma, I love the up turned toe, did you reduce the spine thickness at the toe to allow for proper edge to spine geometry? Looks like the spine tapers a bit but it could be a trick from the lighting in the last photo.

    so it should be seen, you understood correctly, first expands, then narrows at the tip, proportional to the width.
