In order to achieve a hardness of approximately 61 HRC, the material is heated to over 1000 degrees celsius and then immediately quenched with a special oil. The subsequent tempering at about 200 degrees celsius gives the blade elasticity and toughness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHANDLE MATERIAL\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEbony is one of the most valuable woods on earth. It is extremely hard and heavy. Therefore, it is perfect for the production of a high-quality handle. Its structure allows the wood to retain its shape even in humid environments and prevents swelling of the material. Several grind cycles are necessary to create the silky smooth surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffith Shaving Goods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42448724492382,"sku":"10580086","price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/2905\/files\/IMG_8363_ca0d9f9e-ab78-490b-b511-05bb87b49804.jpg?v=1770577893","url":"https:\/\/www.griffithshavinggoods.com\/products\/dovo-barbarossa-faux-ebony-handle-5-8-full-hollow-spanish-tip-solingen-straight-razor","provider":"Griffith Shaving Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
