I don't recognize the name of the steels but that's gotta be one nice shaver

The folding and patterning in the steel are very handsome. And the acid etch really brings out the structure. And I like that little bit of decorative grinding on the tail. Thumbs up on this razor.

Awesome! The etching's crazy! Curious, what acid you use to achieve the etch? Sulfur? Thanks Gabor

I´m using ferreous-3-chloride. In this case I made the etching deeper, because it is not a full hollow ground razor. So the risk to etch trought the blade is not so great.
