This razor is hand forged from o1 carbon tool steel. It was triple quenched and normalized to around 62 HRC. the handle is bamboo with nickle silver pins. It's a slight bit over 6 " when closed. The blade is 3.5 Inch in length X 12/16 in width at the tip convex, hand polished and honed. A pleasure to shave with.

Awesome.
Do you mean the blade grind itself is convex, as opposed to concave, like most other razors?

Not much more to say really. It's convex so it takes a bit of doing to grind and hone properly if you are not used to this kind of a geometry.

How is the balance with bamboo scales? I always thought they would look good, but wondered about maybe being too light...
