Buddel Razor with olive wood
This is also a razor, that I forged at my first "blacksmith-lesson". It is from a high-chrome-steel 1.2436. This is not a stainless steel but nevertheless very water resistant. The back and the shank are etched.
Handle is from olive wood with a brass wedge.

I like this a lot. I might try to find some olive wood for my first attempt at rescaling with inspiration like this.
Now if I could just make the blades...

Love that Olivewood!
This razor has lots of eye appeal. The perfect curve of the scales, the complementary color match and attention to detail in the curve in the brass spacer and the ends of the scales - yummy!!!

I just wish that I had the ability & materials to acomplish something like this my self.

Wow! Very nice. I am impressed and I respect people who have skills like this. I don't know what God has in mind for me, but I don't have skills like these. That is beautiful work.

Classic, clean lines.
