Henckels 8/8 with ornate spinework.
First is an 8/8 Henckel. I discovered 2 things about this razor when I got it. The first is that it looks like it's lost a little of it's length at some stage. Not much but there's a gap at the end of the scales that looks to big to be normal. The second is that it has unbelieveable spine work. It's a rope design and it's fantastic.

'Breathtaking, John. Your posts are just amazing. 'Makes me wonder if the knowledge you've acquired might be well served by some time at the Soligen museum. You certainly have seen, handled, owned some of the best blades I've ever seen or even heard of. Thank You for sharing.
