What happens after you send your options? Just curious because I sent mine and it's been a few days.

I followed up recently and was able to get an order through.
Give him a chance to catch up with orders and ping him again.
Cheers!

Sorry for the late reply. Ulrik was super responsive, he emailed me less than a day later (there's a time difference issue) giving me a quote and answering the few questions I asked through the comments in the form. One More day and a couple more emails with q&a about shortened blade length, tip muting and increased smile and that was it. Took about a month to finish. Originally Posted by HARRYWALLY

I just got my confirmation and pictures for two I ordered. They should be here soon! 8/8 hollow Spanish tip, and a 7/8 quarter with a French tip. Can't wait.

So here's my Koraat 8/8 that arrived last week.
Shipped shave ready, had a nice edge, no problem with the shave.
Ulrik takes them to 10k, then uses pasted strops to take them the rest of the way. Very nice, but I like my edges, so it spent some time on the Nani 12k, then finished with the Escher.
The steel is a very light steel, for an 8/8, big razor, would have like to have a heavier steel, even a carbon steel, something with some more heft to it, but the detail was very nice, and is a well ground razor.
Got mine with a thumb notch and some jimps, he did some nice patterning on the tang, and there are some nice tiny notches cut into the heel of the razor, and with stabilized Bog scales and Nickel wedge.
Very nice blade, and always great when the invoice arrives right at the end of a home renovation....
This is a superb razor, beautiful in the hand, easy BBS, and another example of fine craftsmanship. Wonder what the Damascus steel is like.....
Pics or it didn't happen:
