Thread: Maestro Livi Buffalo Horn with Three Holes, Damascus Blade

8/8, that's some steel. How long is it from toe to tang? Strop like regular? What does it feel like on your skin?

That sounds like some kind of razor.

Wow, that is one wonderful looking tool. "Proud owner" is right. *drools with jealousy*

I guess this is going to have to go on that ever-growing list of "stuff I gotta have".

The only thing is I prefer round points

Bill,
Excellent choice and at some point one of these will have to find it's way home too.

I have a wish list I am plugging away at, some found some still waiting. The Pierre Thiers is sitting at the post office now awaiting pickup, a few other limited TI's are on the list (covered tang, damascus, etc), and a Maestro, probably with horn scales too.

Can you post a few nice views of it? I need something to drool over as the Thiers is not in my hands. It should have arrived Saturday and I saw our mailman, a friend of mine, walking down the street. No package for me I thought...... Well, turns out he figured I would not be home on a Saturday and never rang the bell. He just left a delivery notice in the mailbox instead!!
Some friend..

The blade from head to the tip of the tang is 6 1/2 inches; the scales are 6 1/2 long; the razor fully open measures 10 3/4 inches. The scales at their widest point are 15/16 inches wide. Yes it is a big razor but I like it.
It appears that I seem to prefer a large blade. I have a 8/8 W&B that I really like hense the 8/8 on this one. This razor really feels good against the skin as it plows thru the whiskers. The large size doesn't seem hinder the comfort at all. Also, stopping it is not any different than any others except for the big blade but one gets used to that.
The tip of the blade really isn't as much of a point as it looks like. It does have somewhat of curve to it. It definately is not a square point.
Oh!! this razor comes with a very nice wooden box, a DVD of the Maestro making a razor which is pretty neat and also an autographed Certificate of Origin.
I will try to post some more views of it later.

Bill, congratulations on your new razor, and many years of enjoyment with it. That exact razor was my pick right from the introduction of the Maestro's work here, although there are many beautiful razors to choose from now...

Those razors may be made of the finest steel and all, but I really don't care for the style of many of them. Something about the handles.

There is allways some nay-sayer showing up to say nay Just kidding
None the less it is a beautiful razor and if you have a thousand dollars laying around and can't figure out to do with it I guess there are worse places to spend it

I agree Kelly and absolutely love the handles in Abablone, Ivory, Stag Horn and Olive Wood so far. Soon to be Mother Of Pearl. One is Damascus and the rest are ATS 34. I have never seen more beautiful straight razors any where in the world in any era!! Lynn
