Iwasaki TAMAHAGANE lot 837.4 - Ealy Shigeioshi period
Restored with care.
20 mm wide
From my personal collection.
This is a grail razor for many of us.
Sadly i am searching for something and need to fund it so have to part with it.
Condition - Can be seen in pics. I would say good to mint condition.
Blade was gently restored and cleaned.
I tried to keep the factory finish as close to possible.
It had no big rust issues to begin with and little to no honeware so restoration was minimal - mostly buffing and hand polishing.
Blade:
-Spotless @20mm wide(new it would be @ 21-21.5 mm)
-Hollows and spine are clean as can be seen in pics.
-Tang was cleaned and polished by hand without sanding or unpinning.
-Gimps are clean!
-Geometry is spot on with no honeware!
-Bevels are nice and even all the way both sides.
-Sits flat on the hones and is easy to sharpen.
-Has been honed with 2 layers of tape.
Scales:
-Original black bakelite scales with white spacer.
-In great condition with no cracks or scratches.
-Straight.
Pins and washers:
-Pivot pin unpinned for cleaning tang area.
-Tight as can be with perfect smooth closing motion to dead center!
