All About Pocket Knives

I have just one straight razor, well now i have two.
could not pass on this one price and the look..

Nice!! I've always loved those pearl tangs.

That is a good razor. Torrey made some of the best. He went broke doing it too. That particular design is neat because the handle locks the blade closed. Hard to tell for sure from your picture, but the blade should have a thicker area near the edge. That design made for a stiffer blade that was a bit more pleasant to use than that of true full hollow that is paper thin halfway up to the spine.

Here's a link to the patent for that double concave/hollow.

Interesting how the knife names and the razor names intertwined back in the day.

Good catch. Get it honed up and take it for a spin around your face.
