    Default 8/8s & Giraffe bone

    Here is an 8/8s 1095 blade in giraffe bone scales. The tail and spine have been textured. The blade was quenched with clay on its back to make the hamon.

    Love the shape you went with on those scales, Charlie. And that smiling blade with barber's notch is awesome! Some lucky dog is going to love that beast!

    The tail and tang remind me of the "tail" on Zuel's dogs from the original Ghostbuster movie!

    Great looking razor Charlie. I really like the lines on this one, a very "I need to look at that again" sort of razor. Well done.

    Charlie I got to handle one of your razors today. No I did not get to hone, strop or shave with it, but will be saving up for one. I liked the feel and balance of the blade. Oh and BTW, while I really think you do some very visually appealing work, that thing is huge and much better in person. I find myself wanting one.
