New Hybrid with Oosik Scales

For those of you who may have missed this razor buried in another thread, this is one of three that I finished working on just this past weekend.

The oosic handle is metal lined. Oosic is the bone from the penis of the walrus. The stuff on this razor is fossilized and over 10,000 years old, so no mean hunter killed it... for those of you with those concerns. When the snowpack melts up in Alaska, oosik is found all the time. I usually get mine from K n G Knife Supply.
I love the stuff, myself... just hate grinding on it. Stinky stinky stinky... This section is from the inner circle of bone where you can see all the pores for the blood to flow through. I fill it with different colors of epoxy. This was left-over material from this knife.

I will put this one up for sale on my site when I can get to it. Got about 30 others to do first. I think I like this razor just about better than any I have done to date. A real slice of masculinity.

Bill,

Of all of the razors you have posted, this is my favorite! Absolutely a work of art. It's almost as if the blade is too "perfect" for the scales. Not a complaint, because anyone owning this razor would be as proud as a father holding his "first born"! Great job! Wish it was in my stable of razors.

Hey Bill
I'll give you $75.00 for it.

You can probably get a little more out of me if you play it real cool.

Now that's a manly razor! This is the best one you've done yet, in my opinion. I really like the colors on this one as well as the materials. Put that up on the bookshelf next to a bull scrotum wallet and you've got quite the conversation starters! :D I'll be checking the site daily, hopefully I won't miss out on the chance to buy it. Outstanding work Bill!

No ED concerns for that guy.

Well... you are almost a third of the way there... ;)

I might get in the Christmas spirit and auction it off like the others, but I need to hear from you guys if you are interested in me doing it. Seems like participation here at SRP has dwindled a tad. Gotta wait til the other one is done too, don't ya know.

Did I mention it sharpened up nicely?

I wish you guys could see this razor. It's really exquisite. The materials chosen work perfectly together. Everything from the liners to the binding to the pins are perfectly married, and fit and finsish are superb. The pictures really don't do this one justice. Oh, and it's sharp as all hell too.

Thanks Bill

I am glad that you like it. I considered keeping this one myself. I like it better than some of the really expensive ones that I have. I almost put my logo on the blade to indicate that it was a restoration by me. If you want it done... send it back and I will put it on for you... if I decide to mail it back. :)

PS. I know where you can get the rest of the oosik the scales were made from...

It comes with easy instructions for a do-it-yourself divorce too...
