Thanks. Aren't you excited? This has been a project you've wanted for a long time.

Any idea of the name, yet?

Any info on the grind? Full hollow, half hallow, etc, blade size? 7/8, 5/8 etc etc. Round point, square point, Spanish notch, etc. I'm partial to high hollow and square point. I know round is seen as safer though.

:rofl

I used to shave with a straight razor. If you take your time AND pay attention, the shave is much better than with any of the modern, multi-blade throwaways.

If the edge is a ghost, this may be the pinnacle of that. So, some ideas to start: ghost, pinnacle, summit, zenith, apex

Ever since I saw a straight razor, I've been planning to shave with it. I've never tried it, though)

I suggested the Spyderco Occam in another thread and I think a few people liked that.

Still think this is a perfect name for this knife. I really like how layered and clever it is. That being the name is such a good representation of the Occam's Razor principle itself. Simply perfect. 👌

Checked that out when it was first mentioned, but it was already in use.

Hi Sal I did suggest a while back the name Wildcat based on your explanation that when you shaved with a straight razor and someone said that you looked like you had shoved a ice pick up a wildcat’s rear end Careless use of a razor has that affect I guess?

Occam is a clever pun. May be easier to name something once we see it and see what the Spyderco flavor is.

Spyderco + Razor = Spyzor? Or Spyzer?
