7/8 Zowada w/covered tang in ivory(pic heavy)

[life2short1971]

Here is my new Flagship of the ivory fleet. Tim Zowadas craftsmanship is of the highest quality and I have yet to find any flaws.When I look into the woodgrain of the damascus I almost see a face with two eyes eagerly awaiting a 5o'clock shadow to devour.

I sourced the ivory myself and I wish I could get more but when I tried to place a second order i was informed he was out of stock and would not be replenishing. I feel lucky to get the stock I did for this blade.

I have only shaved with it once but it shaves like a Cadillac Fleetwood goes down the interstate and Tim can really put a smooth edge on a blade. I hope you enjoy the pics as much as I do.

You dog! Man you can't get any better than a Zowada in ivory. Beautiful and congrats!

Are those one piece scales btw?

 

[life2short1971]

Thank you Kent and yes they are one piece. This is the slab they were carved from.

I agree it is and I am very happy to stay with the more traditional styling it is hard to improve on perfection.

You're very welcome.

The custom makers we have in the US alone are just unspeakably talented. I have a BB and maybe one day a Zowada will be in my line up....dressed in ivory, of course.

Breathtaking! That's the best looking pattern I've ever seen on Damascus, and you did great on the scales. Bet that big slice of ivory cost a pretty penny.
