Yes, spectacular work, obviously some intricate grinding, and what made me laugh when I got it, was I expected the bellied grind to leap out at me, like I could jump up and sit down on it and watch the city below - LOL.

Of course it's there, but it related to an earlier post from Tom (Sharpton), when he mentioned that probably most of the larger hollow ground razors would be bellied, and sure enough, the four Palmera's, the Fili's, when you rub your thumb and index figure you can easily feel the bellied grind.

This Koraat you can actually see it clearly, which is nice, and the "hamon" line (I know this isn't the proper term probably, apologies) just illuminates how much detail went into the blade, the design on the tang, the jimps, and the nice decorative work on the heel of the razor.

Ulrik clearly has high standards, the pins, washers, collars, scale material, wedge - all can be chosen using the configurator, and all the materials are top quality.

When I'd customized the edge to the way I like it, did my first WTG pass, and the blade was like a sports car hugging the turns, glued to my face and still get a chuckle out of that "scraping burnt toast" sound as a well made hollow ground does it's work.

This razor IMO, clearly a must have....

I received my 6/8 full hollow yesterday. Beautiful and shaves very smooth. Well worth the ten week waiting period.

Pictures please.

Horn scales. Nickel silver hardware. Full hollow, 6/8.

Congratulations on your recent additions Phrank, Neehoya and Deeter.

Superb razors!

I have a 7/8 french point, quarter hollow koraat in the makings. Blue acrylic scales with mirror polish on everything, looking forward to it.

Lovely razors. My Koraat is all I use now. Time for another I think

That turned out beautiful. I really like the grind.

Just was told my razor is finished, can't wait for it to come in.
