I thought i would share this photo, this is W&B Fine India steel as I found it. Take a look at the "diamond" edge, looks interesting. I decreased the quality, to have some reasonable size of the photo. Hope you can see it. Just click on it. If it is too small - click once again and may be again :D
ISO50, 1/200, f5

Is the blade only ground out along the top third of the blade below the spine?
Ya lost me.......
I've never heard of anyone "cladding" a razor, the way many Japanese kitchen knives are, but that's what the sharp horizontal dividing line reminds me of.
Well, it is not kasumi ( haze looking surface like on knifes) this is something to do with strange coating.
I don't think I understood anything in the sentence :DQuote:

From the photo, it appears to me as if that strip on which the acid etched words are found was specially polished out after the hollow grinding of the rasor had been done.
I don't get what you are hilighting in the photo. It looks like the same frosting pattern that is typically found on these razors.
So, do you have pictures for us to see?Quote:

Will polishing ruin this frosting finish?
