This razor is made from 125CR1 high carbon steel. Heat treated and tempered to approx. 67 Rockwell.
The blade is a 1/2 hollow grind with an oversized profile. 11/8 at the heel, 10/8 middle and 11/8 at the toe. The spine has a gentle curve and rounded edges . The entire razor was sanded up to 2000 grit and etched to reveal a subtle hamon line. (a very time consuming process). The handle is made from stabilized and dyed Spalted Birch with Blue G10 liners. The wedge is also made from Black Limba. The handles are pinned with brass pinning rod and brass washers to finish off the build. This razor, as well as all others will be shipped out shave ready. Included with this razor is a leather sheath / case to keep it safe and secure when not in use or when traveling.
