Damascus Buddel Razor
Here it is. My first damascus straight razor. The blade was forged for me from 1.2842 + 1.2552 + 75Ni8 with 96 layers. Now it has 63 HRC. The blade is a 13/16 quarter hollow.
The handle is from an approx. 10.000 year old iceage buffalo bone (see the rest of it on one of the photos). Wedge from polished buffalo horn with brass. Today I had my first shave with this baby and it was very close and smooth.

Wow, just wow. How do you get your hands on 10,000 year-old buffalo bone?

One year ago I bought this huge piece at ebay in the USA. But I only managed to get enought out for one handle.
