Custom Damascus 7/8-8/8
Another razor that seems redundant if I am to decrease the numbers to something manageable. It was made by a member several years ago and I don't remember his name. He didn't make too many razors, but he has the skills.
It is a very precise grinding and execution, and I personally like the style very much.
The blade is damascus with rather thick spine and quarter hollow grind (wedge). The width is something between 7/8 and a little over 8/8 depending on how and where you measure because the curved spine is done correctly - the edge and the corresponding ridge at the spine are straight (so for honing purposes it is a straight edge, not a smile).
It has a french point with sharp and precise point and heel.
The scales are, I believe, desert ironwood, partially stained, but I'm not expert on woods, so I'm only 99.9% sure. They are centered and properly tensioned (that's how I lost the patina on the pivot pin, but you can see from the wedge pin what happens in few months, unless you like to keep them shiny.)
It came with a shaveable edge, I remember rehoning it and improving it a fair bit. I've shaved with it probably 5-10 times over the years since and just touched it up for good measure.
I have vague recollection of paying in the $400-$500 range, so I'm asking for $360. I'll cover the shipping in us and paypal fees.
