    Default Joseph Rodgers frameback in special scales

    This razor just ended up bringing everything together. Sadly the MOP is cracked at the pivot, but you can't win them all. Very happy with it overall.

    I would lot to know what that Little M'ester was smoking when he came up with that particular design. It's so bizarre.

    I love it.

    Sort of.

    It's intended to be a Devangari rendition of the word WOOTZ, which is what Europeans thought Indians called steel.

    (I previously hosed down the forum with a goodly quantity of misinformation about the word and its origins, consider this a correction)

    That is definitely a unique looking tang on that blade & a frame back on top of that!

    Nice and unusual. And heck, as far as cracks go, that one looks like a fancy one itself :<0)
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    Myself, I think it was just the makers design.
