Brandt Magnetic, German 5/8, faux tortoise scales, blade is in great shape, very light hone wear, thumb notch, shoulder-less, full hollow. Scales are a little warped near the end doesnt affect the function at all just use caution when closing it. Comes with a pouch of some sort. $45.95 its yours
What shave ready means to me, shave ready is an edge whose bevel is set on a 1,000 grit naniwa japanese stone, progressing down & polished on the nakayama kiita for a sharp, smooth & mirrored edge. All while keeping an eye on the edge under a very powerful loupe (mini microscope if you will). I then strop the razors edge on Tonys legendary Red Latigo then on genuine vintage horse hide for an even smoother shave.
