Buddel Razor Suminagashi steel
I made a razor from this steel:
This carbon steel, supplied by the HITACHI company based in Yasugi, Japan, is made from high-quality iron sand using smelting methods similar to those used to make traditional sword steel. It has the highest purity of all the commercial steels used for forging tools and is commonly forge-welded to a wrought iron base to make high-quality tool blades and knives. Once hardened, the steel has an extremely fine-grained, martensitic structure that displays excellent sharpening properties.
Composition
"White Paper Steel" C 1.1 - 1.2%, Si 0.1 - 0.2%, P<0.025%, S< 0.004%
The handle is from polished bone with a brass wedge.
