    Very nice, I like the overall look of the razor, and very nice grain pattern on the scales well done.

    Very nice!!!
    Modernized classic. I like these simple forms.
    Wood structure is very clearly expressed.
    The tip of the shank a bit controversial in the plan safety (may be called "an alligator tooth"?), But the length seems very comfortable.
    Took the form of a collection.
    I also want to try the 01 steel work. Where can I buy it?
    If something is unclear in the text, please correct me ......

    I buy it from the Uddeholm company from Sweden. They have a local store in Hungary, so I can order steel through them.

    O1 is a very nice steel to work with, is easy to HT, and takes a fabulous edge. Actually the easy HT isn't too important to me, because I have it done by a professional, but for those who do it at home this could be a major advantage over others.

    Yes, thats it! If I remember correctly, than they make it in 6mm thick and 30-45-57mm wide billets, which are about 4m long. You can buy a whole billet, but they will cut it to size for you if you request it, but it isn't cheap (about 15$ per cut).
