I just love TI, and 1/2 grind sounds absolutley smooth.
What exactly are those scales?
Blonde horn?

the scales are horn. Its just a coincidence that I got the same scales on this one as the scales on the LeGrelot on the last pic.

I went for cheap paring knife, the knife nuts over @ the knife forum consider this one an entry level knife. Ppl there gun @ Tadatsuna and Hattori and the likes . This knife takes just as good of an edge, and oh yeah it can shave too

I don't know about the razors, but the pics are top notch!!!!



TI razors can be very nice shavers as well as good looking peices. I have about 20 of them. It is interesting that TI fancied up the Spartacus. It has always been a decent shaver.

Congratulations, this is a great shaving razor! I have a snakewood model. I think is more than a 1/2 grind as it sings quite ;oudly when shaving. Moreover, when looking at the profile it looks greater than 1/2.

Love those bone scales. Nice razor. Congratulations.

I am going with the info supplied on the website. I have very limited experience with different grinds, but this one looks to have more removed than half of a 1/4 grind.
I however find it more comfortable than the Dovo I had, may be this is also a result of wider blade.

My dear Stefan,

That is a stunning razor. Quite a prize, and well deserved, I might add. Enjoy.

Regards,

Obie

Thanks Obie,
the more I shave the more I am liking this razor. It is different than the 1/4 LeGrelot, but at the same time even though its not as hefty it feels very nicely on the face. It is pretty forgiving in my opinion.

The blade is indeed asymmetric 6/8 at the heel , 7/8 at the point. I am not sure but I think some of the old choppers have asymmetry like that.
I find this feature of my razor pretty cool.

I thought so
The blade looks identical to mine, however your scales look really good, mine "SUCKED" LOL
They are nice slicers huh can't say enough good about the blade...
