Mammoth with steel

Here the last razor I finished. A 7/8 quarter hollow blade with monkey tail and barbers notch. The shank is covered with mammoth ivory, the same like the handle. The steel is a approx. 200 layered pattern welted steel, hardened to 62 HRC. Nothing special... ;)Attachment 70403Attachment 70404Attachment 70405Attachment 70406

Another beautiful yet effective Buddel razor. The new owner is in for a treat!

beautiful craftsmanship, Gabor! Another stunning razor...

Wow! That might be the most handsome razor I have ever seen. Congratulations on building and designing a beautiful razor.

That is just sweet Gabor! Love it! :tu

Man that is really nice. Love the tang.

Sweet, a perfectly combined package!

Wow. That shank and tang look awesome!

That is a piece or art! Some owner is going to be mighty proud. Thanks for sharing.

Yah. Ordinarily extraordinary :)

Beautiful blade Gabor :rock:

Is there a price please ?

We don't discuss pricing on the open forum as a rule.

If you want to discuss prices please take it to PM.

Thanks!

Did you attach the inlay mammoth with epoxy or CA, then pin?

How did you go about bringing out the layers in the steel, warm vinegar, muriatic acid?

Your workmanship is top notch, the even grind (honing showed this), creativity, and the finishing touches are amazing. Thank you for sharing.

If the new owner isn't anything other than ecstatic, they need a lobotomy!

Thank you a lot for this friendly words.

very unique razor! looks great.

A beautiful piece of craftsmanship! Very nice.

if i may ask where do you find mammoth ivory unless your a multimillionair.

The mammoth ivory I using is approx. 40.000 - 10.000 years old. I had a source in russia for it and the original place where they found them is sibiria. I don´t know, if it will be possible to buy there once again. If not, I don´t can work much longer with this wonderull material. What I still have in stock is propably enought for 2-5 handles (depending on the cracks in the tooth).
