J.A. Henckels - Twin Works 415
It took some work but it was worth it.
I had to completely sand her down and with lots of caring love I was able to rescue her from total disintegration. Biggest obstacle was trying to save the redish paint on the tang side. Meticulous is the magic word.
Wicked sharp edge and gorgeous cracked ice scales with brass inlays.

Chris, it's a full hollow and I added some measurements. I did everything by hand since I wanted to give it my full attention and be really careful.
Paul, very sharp and had an amazing shave with it!

Great looking razor, especially with the red paint maintained on the shank.
