Joseph Elliot's Chinese Razor - Blue Paua

I haven't seen many of those Joseph Elliot's Chinese razor so any info would be appreciated.

Blade got a total restore. It got the greaseless from 80 to 600 grit, followed by black, white and green rouge.

Scales are blue Paua LVS acrylic. Tapered G10 Jade Ghost wedge, silver nickel, ss and brass hardware.

If anyone can decypher the writing on the tang please let us know.

Have a great Sunday!.

Wow! Stunning.

Nice Max! THose "chinese razors" aren't uncommon. I believe a bunch of Sheffield companies made them.

Beautiful work Max. My 5 year old daughter thinks so too. "wow Dad, you should make on like that!"
"maybe one day babe"

Going form left to right (with the three words laying on their left side), the first two words mean "of exceptional quality" and the last word I will translate to be "melody" as “singing.”
