    Mokume-Gane Cobalt and Carbon

    $60.00$100.00

    Description

    The handle is made from a Mokume-Gane fusion of Cobalt and Carbon.  Technology only recently made this material available in a form that may be worked into a pen. Mokume-Gane (pronounced Moe-koo-may Gah-nay) is the ancient Japanese metal working technique where layers of contrasting color metals such as copper, brass, nickel silver, gold, and silver are fusion welded with very high heat and pressure into one solid block of metal.  Traditional Mokume-Gane is extremely rare and sells for hundreds if not thousands of dollars for a very small quantity.  The name “Mokume Gane” refers to the visual appearance of a pattern in metal approximating that of wood. “Mokume” literally means “wood eye”, which would be used to describe a highly figured wood grain. “Gane” translates as metal. So, in English, “wood grain metal” is a near-literal translation.

    This razor handle is 3.875 inches long and weighs 1.8 ounces.
