The blade I got from the bay awhile back , the pins also , they were billed as hardware to make a straight blade shaving razor . The scales are teak wood , stained dark and oiled . the sheath is a bay score also . Blade shape caught my eye as I love sheep's foot blades . It's a sailors thing . Back in the days of the square riggers and the wind jammers , the sheeps foot blade was preferred because on a rolling deck you did not want a sharp tip .
