Dovo "Arena Luna" 8/8 Black Blade with Composite Scales Full Hollow Solingen Straight Razor

Since many of our customers like to hone their own razors, by default we will ship these razors with the factory edge. However, we will happily hone them to our standards upon request, at no additional charge. If this service is desired please leave us a note at checkout or respond to your order confirmation email and allow an extra 2-3 business days before shipment. If you would like the razor honed without tape on the spine please also specify that in your request.

Still manufactured in Solingen Germany, Dovo has been manufacturing fine razors for over 100 years. Today, their razors combine classic craftsmaship with modern design resulting in razors that look as great as they perform.

The "Arena Luna" is an impressive carbon steel 1.2210 8/8 sized full hollow ground razor with gorgeous black finished blade, detailed etches and square tip. The razor scales are made from attractive composite moon copper mesh in a unique design. Note: The appearance of the scales will vary slightly from those shown here.

From Dovo; "A momentous, black full inch blade, paired with birch scales bright as sand on a sunny day, engraved with a proud lion, takes courage to wield in ones face. 
This courage is what the blade stands for. It was inspired by Theodore Roosevelt's speech entitled “Citizenship in a Republic”. An excerpt of this speech, know as “The Man in the Arena", is engraved in full on the back of this special blade.
The speech states beautifully that it is not the critic who counts, but all credit goes to the man in the arena, who is daring greatly."
