Thread: Koraat razors

He grinds and heat-treats the blades himself (he comes from a goldsmith background).

And he's a true gentleman to deal with (and, in case you worry, not related or in any other way affiliated to me ).

I'm kind of interested in the ball bearing steel for an 8/8 Is that an option?

I've just ordered one and Ulrick quoted 4-6 weeks. No money changes hands until you see pics of the finished razor.

Waiting for one with similar features as your first pic. Cannot wait. Working with Ulrik has been an absolute pleasure

Referencing your mat:- do you shoot s CZ75? If so what model. I shot a shadow for a few years in IPSC. Great guns [emoji1303]

I'd propose you contact him directly, but I would guess it would only be possible as a full custom (as his 8/8 blanks are made out of silver steel).

Here is my 7/8 half-hollow Koraat custom, much impressed with its shaving and general quality. Now I'm awaiting for another one of same size and near wedge grind.

Beautiful. Can't wait for mine.

Mine is on the way. A 6/8 full hollow with stabilized buckeye burl scales.

Mine is inbound as well. 8/8 near wedge with stabilized birch burl.

What a beautiful razor! Congratulations.
