    Default Snailforge kamisori, 6/8+ O2 Carbon steel, half price

    This is one of my earlier ones. I made this several years ago for a customer, but the grinding had an issue so I took it back. It's been sitting here for quite some time now. I found it in my todo pile and decided to finally regrind it and fix it. The handle was satin finish so I did a satin finish in the hollow grinding as well.

    It has a couple of smaller superficial water stains. I could have re-polished it completely but I have enough work ahead of me that I decided to stop at regrinding it and doing the mirror polish. Because of that, it is available for half price if someone wants it.

    225 USD, shipped worldwide (shipping included in the price).
    It comes shaveready.

    This is to show the grinding.
    The grinding was done like a western razor and you hone it like a western razor.
    But the orientation is traditional Japanese kamisori

    Taking it offline. Since I didn't get any takers here I am posting it on my page and don't want to have it for sale in 2 different locations.
