New custom 8/8's off to Japan
This is one I made from a drawing and specs sent in from one of our favorite fellow forum members in Japan.
It is 8/8s full hollow round nose with forefinger notch and a little sway in the back. There are jinks top and bottom on the tang. Blade is buffed to a mirror finish. The scale are polished bone with a black longhorn wedge
Thanks for looking

I have been "itching" to ask..between these new style western Japanese str8 razors vs the old skool non folding.what are the differences (if any other than folding and non folding) i.e. sharpness/weight/maneuverability/smoothness..etc..

Very nice, I love the nose on it! Our member in Japan is very, very lucky. Now I'm jealous, if it happens to get delivered to new jersey I'm sure no one will fault you.
