1095, Red G10 with a Monky Tail
Here is a new one, the blade is 1095, the scales are G10. The blade is about 7/8s or 13/16s depending on where you measure it. The temper lines/activity are a witness to how the blade was held in the quench oil.

It looks like a Charlie Lewis custom.

I really like that the spine looks uneven (not uniformly smiley). Whether this actually is true or just my eyes playing tricks on me is one question. Whether it was intentional is another question. Nonetheless, I think it looks great because it adds to the rustic, raw, unrefined aspects of the razor. Very organic.
