Really wanted to make a sleek everyday shaver that is looked a bit like glowing brimstone. Dark, menacing, and it came together when I ground the unique jimps, and added the crown – called this blade the Efreet. Really enjoy the look of a grizzled, fiery profile, my Yūrei-zu finish, and a set of black scales with green g10 wedge.
The blade is 5/8″+ wide, gliding through the toughest of beards with agile and smooth shaving. It has a slight smile and keen bevel. The forge finished shank is black with markings from my hammer and anvil. To me, this trademark of my custom work shows all the craft involved in making this piece from start to finish, anvil to sharpening stone.
The forgework and unique jimping (notches at shank) also makes this piece an absolute joy to shave with and hold in the hand.
