8/8 Spanish point, ebony scales
This is the biggest razor that I've done so far. The spine is a full 9/32", which doesn't seem like that much thicker than 1/4", but in actually it is noticeable.
Mirror finished tang and spine, ebony scales, black horn wedge, adjustable pivot, and (my favorite) decorative mosaic pin. :)
This is definitely one of my better razors, if not the best. The heat treatment came out really well, and the steel is harder than what I was getting from my forge treatments. I didn't have it tested, but I'd guess that it's comfortably above 60 RC by the way it honed. If the bevel wasn't pretty small it would have taken me forever to get it to take an edge. I had to keep going back to the DMT 600 to fine tune the bevel for little spots that would have taken 10 swipes on my DMT 1200.
The blade centers perfectly, which always warms my heart. :)
My new tools and some new tricks are paying off--very gratifying.
