Custom 10/8 Damascus In Buffalo Horn

Hello,

Here is a custom Damascus (Pattern Welded Steel) in Buffalo Horn that I just finished up. I hand hammered this Damascus blade on the anvil here in my shop out of 1095 and 15n20. 15n20 is similar to L6 without the chromium. This is a 10/8 blade and the scales and wedge are Buffalo Horn. Very hard but it takes a wonderful edge.

I shaved with it this evening and I can tell you IMHO it was excellent. I enjoy large razors and this one certainly did not disappoint. Weighing in at 2.8 OZ it is very maneuverable and feels agile in the hand, for a large razor that is.

I do appreciate you taking the time to have a look and let me know what you think of it.

Best Regards
Kenny

Looks very nice.
Well done.

That's a work of art.

Kenny, that is one nice looking lump of razor. Excellent work on your own Damascus steel. I like the decorative wedge pin. Well done.

That's a beautiful looking razor.

Kenny,

I think all of your razors are stunning, and this is no exception. I think the barber's notch is a nice touch too!

I think its beautiful. I like your designs very much.

Very nice indeed. Might I ask how much tape you used to established the bevel?

That is just plain gorgeous. Love the jimps.

She is definitely a Looker :nj

Hello Shooter74743,

Thanks for your kind remarks. I used in this case, 3 layers and followed with a fourth for a hairline double bevel. In my shave test it felt like it was right where I needed to be.

Best Regards
Kenny

Thanks Glen!!

I like it, Kenny, I like it a LOT.

That is simply a work of art! Absolutely beautiful!

A visual treat. One of the handsomest razors I've seen. There's another thread going here about whether razors are his or her. This one looks like a weightlifter at Gold's Gym, rippling with muscle. A definite "he," if I ever saw one.

Simply Stunning!

Looks lovely, great job! :tu

A beautiful beast, great work.

Beautiful!!!! Enjoy it!

:dropjaw::dropjaw::dropjaw: I'm speachless... Amazing work Kenny, I love it!!

It looks like it should be on display somewhere fantastic.

You, sir, are a very talented individual. This is truly a work of art!
