    Everyone just step away from the Horseshoe razor, and nobody gets hurt..


    Just a WAG here since I can't hold it in my hand, but I am thinking this might be some kind of "Knife" "Scraper" or perhaps something specialized like a "Patch Knife"

    Do we think the pics are really from 2007 or just a digicam without a set date?

    Either way, I'd hate to see the brush the guy made from the rest of the horse.

    I'm not an expert in these things but this could be cleaned up a little, honed by a professional and either be a nice shaver or a valued addition to your collection.

    I trust you are joking 2 of my favorite strops are horsehide they are so buttery and leave such a nice edge. the horses fed the dogs and made glue as well ... horse the other red meat.

    Seems like it could be a homemade Farrier's tool moreso than a SR. ?? Without a marking for indication or the Maker telling me different that is what I would guess upon seeing it. ??
