Isn't the spine a lot thinner than usual for a blade that size?
It looks like about 8/8ish to me, but my only 2 8/8s have a fairly thick spine to end up with the usual honing angle.

Once again, I am blown away by your work.
I'm trying bone and horn scales, but I think I'll leave ivory to the pros.
It is a bit thinner than usual. The blade's actually around 7/8 though. Because of the rarity of the material, I had to make do with what I had, and she turned out to be a killer shaver (IMO) despite this. Normally I work with 1/4" thick stuff for 7/8 and up, and 3/16" for less than 7/8 blades. I've found that I can make do with thinner stuff when I have to. :DQuote:

very nice, Joe!
but that's nothing new.
That's the most classy razor I've ever seen.
The design seems very well focused on letting those noble materials do all the talking.
