Thanked: 2697
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:
