I just finished up a new Twist Damascus Smiling Edge Straight Razor.
This razor is made from layered 1095 and 15N20 High Carbon Steel. Once the forging has been completed and the material drawn out in a square bar, the material is twisted numerous times which form the pattern seen on this razor. Once the razor has been hollow ground and hand sanded, it is etched to reveal the pattern.
This blade is 3/4 hollow ground. This razor features a curved spine, 2 round file grooves in place of jimping on the underside of the tail. This is a 10/8 blade from heel to toe.
The scales are made from stabilized and dyed Purple Hard Curly Maple and White G10 liners. The wedge is made the same material as the scales and it is finished off with brass pins and washers. This razor also comes with a hand made leather sheath.
This razor is shipped shave ready, as are all my other razors.
If you have any questions regarding this razor please feel free to reach out to me.
Thanks
Rob
