    I have one exactly the same shape and grindwise, but the handle is different wood and it doesn't have the engraving, has gold wash instead. same C135 metal. these are VERY good shavers

    EDIT: No wait I'm telling a lie, the one i have is identical to the previous silverwing, mine has no notch

    Google "Ti Silverwing", there's a bunch of vendors doing them, i think classic shaving may. The invisible edge in the uk does them as well. I'm not sure hwat Ti does but them seem to bring a new one out periodically

    Wow, with TIs I usually stock with the stamina wood because most of the time I could have the razor rescaled by one of our custom guys here for less money then to get a decent set of scales stock. This is the first TI razor that may cause me to change my mind, really a stellar razor although to me it looks like the wood used for the box has a better finish then the scales?

    Mm.. the density of the birdseye is pretyy good on the handle, I've seen better guitar necks, but they've been on very expensive custom shop jobs, and i guess they have first choice on would with figuring that defined

    Would have to see the top of the lid, but you never know what you'll get until you start routing and by that stage it's too late to turn round and use the wood for a handle

    That is one nice looking razor! So if I am reading correctly it is C135 steel? Not specified in original post.
