Absolutely stunning Charlie! Steel and wood in a perfect compliment to one another.

Absolutely beautiful! Did you use clay to do the hamon as the Japanese do?

I think this is my favorite of all of your razors, at least the ones I have seen. Just an excellent combination of steel, wood and form. Be proud.

Yes, I used clay on the blade when hardening.

Holy smokes Charlie! That is just wow!
Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

What a drop dead hart stopping razor. It's a beautiful thing from the steel to the wood and that hamon line just adds that last little touch. CL I believe you can make the only straights I see with so much going on from Spine work, Scale decor, Hamon lines, Barber notches all into one straight, and the flow of all this material together just works so well with each other that each razor is so very different than the last. You are a true artist of your trade.
