10/8 Wostenholm IXL in Black Horn

This one was for a member here. It measures just shy of 10/8. Left a touch of pitting, but buffed it up to a high mirror finish. Centers dead on, nice thin scales and simple washers with a brass lined black horn wedge.

Classy as all heck, beautiful blade. It took some time on the hones, but, the shave was butter smooth.. really didn't wanna send this back to the owner.. I even offered to buy it off him. lol.

I'm loving the brass lined wedge on this one...overall very nice.

Fantastic work as always Brad! Very elegant and that blade is monstrous!:dropjaw:

Man, I cannot wait to get this bad boy!

Thanks a ton Brad! Simply Stunning what you did with this one!

Very clean and classic, a beautiful job. I understand what you mean about wanting to keep it,I bet the test shave was smooth and comfortable.

A classy job. Not the flashiest scales out there but that just helps to accent the huge blade. I like the lined wedge adds just the right amount of something special. You know it's a large blade when the tang has 4 lines of text in it and still has extra room.

A very big razor indeed!

Classy is right. That monster is beautiful.

This big Wostie is beautifully crafted and oozes class! Joe, you're a lucky man, enjoy!

That's just a beautiful razor. I love the smooth curve along each side of the scales. It must be pretty hefty in the hand.

Excellent job as usual Brad :bow. 10/8"? Man, this thing is huge :dropjaw:. I love the scales and great job on the pins
