8/8 pattern welded steel with desert ironwood
Hello Folks,
some new stuff is ready for showing. This razor is a "little" 8/8 with monkey tail from pattern welded steel. How you can see at the monkey tail, the whole razor was forged in shape - no stock removal. The handle is from nice desert ironwood burl on a red liner to preserve it from cracks. At least the wedge is from mammoth ivory. Hope you will like it

Great looking piece. I am scratching my head on something...by 'no stock removal' are referring to the shape of the razor and tail blank, then you grind it, or do you mean that you actually forged the profile also?
Thanks for the education.
That is a truly beautiful piece!Buddel likes this.

Oooooooh! Man those scales against the pattern of the steel just make your eyes jump around, nothing sticks out, but flows all together...good eye on the material choices!

Thank you. That mean, that the shank was also was forged and not only cutted from a steel blank. This was the rought shape before the final grinding.
