Stunning piece, Gabor! I love the fact that the steel came from a Leopard! What a tremendous historical piece.
Glad to see you're back at it after your injury. Of course seeing this piece just makes my mouth water waiting for my turn in the queue!
What an incredibly beautiful BEAST.
WOW!!!! Incredible.
yup definitely stunning. Strangely enough the "end grain" is really nice.
That is a beautiful razor, the blade and scales go together perfectly.

Wow, that is a razor with a presence! Beautiful work Gabor with extraordinary
materials.
Buddel,
What an incredibly beautiful razor! That it contains steel from the main gun of a Leopard, increases the WOW factor.
I rode, with the Bundeswehr, in a Leopard, during Operation Reforger 1976. The main gun was a, standard for NATO, 105mm cannon. Great guys and super competent troops. "Egon" could put a round into a tank carcass at 3,000 meters with, but one, ranging shot. Highly impressive marksmanship in anyone's book.
I was the gunner on an M60A1 Patton Main Battle Tank. At the time, the Leopard was THE epitome of a main battle tank . All the American tankers were highly envious of the Leopards.
Thanks for the great pictures and interesting background.
Sincerely,
An old tread head.
Amazing work!!
:dropjaw:
Beautiful as always Gabor. Seeing things like that makes me think about whether I should make space for a second Buddel in my collection.
B-E-A-FFFFFF'N-UTIFUL! And a real good story too :)
Wow, great story. Thank you for that :beer1:Quote:

Lots of WOW factor in that one.
You certainly use some exotic steels. :tu
Damn! This is the best custom (IMO) that I have seen yet. It appeals to all my tastes. That's it, there's nothing more to say.
Swords to plowshares, It's a beautiful thing. A that, young man, is one beautiful razor.
Bob
WOW!! Not much else to say. Great Work!:bow
Wow, I love the steel and scale combo and the fact that it's recycled from a leopard only makes it that much cooler... Way to go!
Boker make a damascus pocket knife using the steel from an old leopard tank. They looked quite interesting but I was not willing to pay the premium for them. Went with a Kershaw damascus. Nice looking razor boss.
Simply Stunning!
Buddel, Sorry it took so long to find this. Leopard - Hohenfels, 1976
Buddel, your razors are absolutely amazing! Great work again!
Wow :dropjaw: Thatīs one nice looking razor!!
buddel, that is one of the sickest (in a good way!) SR's I've ever seen!!! How did the steel get the patterns? what is the wedge made from? Awesome job! I can't believe it's metal from a tank, even sicker!:gwh:
Thank you for the picture. At my time in the army at the mechanized infantry I never went with a real tank. I only sit inside of this little tiny tank: Marder (IFV) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaQuote:

@rchljoey: Thank you. The pattern is from the two different steels, if you etch it. The steel with more mangan is the black one. The wedge is from a artificial gem stone. I forgott the name, sorry.
