nice little 6/8 humpback razor with carved tang and tail
the blade is 52100 steel with "hammer tone" finish on the flats.
the blade is high belt finished and has an edge length of 2.75 inch
the olive wood handle is one piece of wood and has been sealed with CA to help make it even more resistant to wetness
asking $350

that is by far the nicest straight razor i've ever seen.
the olive wood and scalloped blade are outrageous!
nicely done!
 
One side hollow one side flat?

I really like the carved tang. How do you do that?
 
the blade is ground on both sides both on a 10 inch wheel (in the razor world its called wedge grind)
the carved parts are done on a 2 inch wheel
 
That is absolutly beautiful! Oh my god if I had the money I would totally buy that, I have never seen a straight razor that nice, I don't think I'v ever seen a straight razor with a wooden handle. I love it, great work!!
 
I like this a lot! But I'm holding out for a bigger blade. Are you doing any 8/8 soon? I would love one of those.

Thanks!
