humpback 6/8

nice little 6/8 humpback razor with carved tang and tail
the blade is 52100 steel with "hammer tone" finish on the flats.
the blade is high belt finished and has an edge length of 2.75 inch
the olive wood handle is one piece of wood and has been sealed with CA to help make it even more resistant to wetness

That is a beauty Butch. I love the hammer work. If it shaves anything like this 52100 steel that I got from you a couple of weeks ago it will be worth it's weight in gold.

How unique!
I thought about using olive wood for scales, but then I got a cheese board in olive wood, and it smells like olive oil. I think that would only make me hungry.

funny thing is i live the smell as i saw the blanks up (have respirator on when grinding tho)
its sealed so you would not smell it so much
