Thread: Design your own Maestro

I'd jump on a Takeda blade in 8/8, No fear of honing it as I already do that :P

Hammered and file work on the spine, Long tail, Canvas Micarta or some of L. R. Harner's (Butch) micarta, wedge black.

I'm new to his work still but off the top of my head that would make me drool.

Are there any livi razors that us poor folk could use??

Why, any folk poor or rich can use Livi razors. It's the buying of them that's often out of reach for people!

AFFORD!!

Well, there are the 'entry level' Livis at 140 pounds a pop (check out vschwager's website). Lynn also sells them, though I don't know the price he asks.
I am sure they are great shavers, but Mastro Livi didn't actually forge them himself. That's kinda like slapping a logo on my citroen and calling it a ferrari.

If you can afford something in that price range (~300$ ) you could contact Robert Williams to see if he could make you one with simple wooden scales.

You can get the Maestro regrinds with wooden handles for $265. They are really nice looking and very nice shavers. I'll try to post a couple more pictures.

Pictures would be good.

Fossilised mammoth ivory scales, abalone inlay on the tang, 5/8 damascus steel, custom work on the spine 3 pin...wow...what a razor that would be...ahhhhh someday!

Okay, a Takeda AS steel blade with a long monkey tang and hammer marks on the spine for sure.

My first thougt for scales was mammoth ivory, but if price is no object, then I'll go with lapis lazuli scales with mammoth ivory spacers.

That's a hefty handle, so we'd better make the blade a 8/8.

or

A 6/8 blue steel, paper micarta scales.

Probably both hollow ground, hammer work visible on the spine. Spike point.

Does the Mastro do wootz razors? I have so far only found one wootz razor on the web: http://knifenetwork.com/ppost/showph...cat=500&page=1
