Ive had this in my possession for a couple of months now, but have never taken pictures. The pictures i did take dont do it justice..and had to be fiddled with in photoshop to truly bring out the grain in the blade.

7/8 spike point Wootz Damascus crafted by Al Pendray with Rosewood Burl Scales.

I had Joe put a hammered/forged look on the spine. The spacer is metal as well to match the blade. Forgive the bad pictures, Ill get some better ones up eventually.

This is one of my top razors...and gentlemen...IMHO he definitely gives Mastro Livi a run for the money, and in all honesty...Might edge him out in some aspects. Its one of my prized possessions.

Dead sexy!

I believe 2 bevels. I had joe put tape on it so that there would be no hone wear visible. I will be using tape if the need to sharpen it ever arises. It came shave ready of course upon arrival. Let me tell you also...that the spike on this point...nearly nicked an artery. Its deadly sharp.
