El Gigante
The razor I finished today. A huge 9/8 suminagashi steel blade, with a mammoth ivory covered shank. The handle is from camel bone and horn.

Wow, that is, in my opinion the best looking razor I have ever seen. Congrats, the covered tang is really something special. Before today I never saw a point in a covered tang but that one just blows me away. The shape reminds me a lot of two Japanese solgen razors I had custom rescaled, only yours is about 2.5 times the size!
