    Default Antelope #16 - Diamond Steel - 9/16 - Bolivian Rosewood

    Here's a truly gorgeous shoulderless razor, Antelope #16 - Diamond Steel - Germany.

    I was able to preserve the original etching that looks really amazing in real. The blade turned out extremely clean. It's a nice 9/16 full hollow with a notched tang and jimps.

    As to the scales, I did opt for Bolivian Rosewood.

    This one is sold and going to our friend Bjørnar in Norway.

    Brand: Antelope #16 - Diamond Steel - Germany
    Grind: Full Hollow
    Total weight: 1.3 Oz
    Total cutting edge: 2.5 inches
    Wedge: Maple
    Pins/Washers: Bolivian Rosewood

    That really is great etching! I'd be afraid to hone it with that last line so close to the edge. You made an excellent choice in wood, the handles are perfectly executed but take nothing away from the blade.

    That's an incredible finish on the steel Max! Love the crispness of the etching too. Beautiful.
    I hope you got paid a fair buck for that! HAHAHA! Might just be me that finds tht funny.

    Very nice restore max! It's a very sexy blade in beautiful scales. Bjørnar will be very pleased with that straight. I know I would be!
