This blade is made from W2 tool steel - it is an 8/8s. The guard/sheath/scales (I am not sure what to call it) is made from black linen micarta and some brown phenolic. This blade feels good in the hand and is nimble without the scales.
I have had this idea in my head for a while, I have been wanting to try it out. There is a magnet in the guard that holds the blade in. I have to center the blade as I close the razor, it can hit the sides if I am not careful.
