This was a rare project I had a request from a customer to recreate a razor that had been stolen from him It was a TI Dreadnought but in the Red Birch Burl scales that TI no longer makes So he ordered just a blade and sent me a Block on the closest Stabilized Birch Burl we could find From Block of Wood to a recreated razor honed to a final finish on a Nakayama with a Kita Nagura ps: Not sure what people mean by "Stabilized" any longer but this wood needed a CA finish to get it right in the end.. Thanks for looking
I have to double check the email exchanges but I am pretty sure he had The Invisible Edge UK get it for him
Nicely done, Glen, those Stabilized Burr scales from TI cost a fortune, I remember fitting a few for Steve Bowles the original owner of the Invisible edge, he told me the failure rate was so high with breakages that TI gave up producing some of them.
The razor itself is available many places that sell TI search Spartacus also I am pretty sure it is the same razor, but those scales are no longer available, I heard a couple of reasons why not too https://www.theinvisibleedge.co.uk/...-desert-ironwood-wheatfield-dreadnought-razor
