Thread: The New Ottoman Egyptain And Royal Windsor Razor

Hello,

i would like to show you a Razor that i made long time ago. It was the first folding razor i ever made for a customer.
It is a replica of the "Ottoman Egyptain And Royal Windsor Razor" from Wade and Butcher. My customer always wanted to own this razor but didnt manage to get one, so he ordered the replica from me.

The blade is made of a special steel, with 1,5% carbon 0,2%Tantal and traces of Silver. I alloyed and casted this steel specifically for this razor.
The handle is made of Grenadill. All other parts like the pins and the wedge are 925/000 silver.

I hope you like it.

kind regards,
Ulrik

That's a great looking razor, blade and scales !

+1 it is a great looking razor.

The only thing that concerns me is the width of the spine compared to the depth of the blade. It may just be camera angle but I'm wondering if the spine is as thick as it should be to provide the 'correct' honing angle for that large of a blade ?

Hi Ulrik. It's great to see this razor again - the owner posted pictures of it in another thread some time ago. Your workmanship is superb and I still owe you a reply to your email concerning custom blades.

Beautiful work. kudos to you sir, very nice razor indeed.

Amazing work!

Cheers.

Stunning razor. Afrian Blackwood does make beautiful classic scales. One lucky owner.

Impressed. Great that you're able to do this.

I have wanted one of those razors for a long time. Nice to know that there could be an alternative, considering the original razors popularity and scarcity.

Wow! I did not expect to get so much reaction. Thank you.

Concerning the thickness of the spine in relation to the wideness of the blade: This is true, when i made this razor i was new to it, and made this mistake. But with 2 layers of tape, honing works fine.

The customer just asked me per mail to show you another Ottoman, this time an Original.
After years of research he finaly found an Ottoman Blade, but without handle. Because of circumstances that he may tell you if he wants, the blade got broken.....

When he told me about this disaster i asked him to send me the pieces so i could try my best to save this exeptional blade.

Here is the result (the scales are not my work, i just finished them):



cheers,
Ulrik
