    Default 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

    Basically a different geometry in that the non folder is asymmetrical & the folder evenly ground on both sides. The other things you mention are to a degree, subjective.

    BTW Stunning razor

    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.
