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.

Nice forge welding. Just curious why you stopped at 96? Why not 100 or 200?
Very fine blade there.

she's a really beauty man. gorgeous pattern. is it just me or is the edge not completely straight? I think it might be the pattern, looks like towards the heel it's off a bit.
did you etch it to get the grain to stand out more? or is it all polished and stands out that well on its own?
fantastic work. MORE!

That's a stunning combination! I'm very taken with scales dug out of the Siberian wastes right now.
