    Aoutch !

    Well... Honestly what's so special about this straight ? It's not even NOS, big or whatever...

    I would give for it about 20$ if I'd saw one like this on an antiques store...

    More than 400$ ?! This is madness....

    Never have seen those scales. The purely scales buyers are hungry for this no doubt, Thaeris, it has nothing to do with the blade on this one, trust me.

    It's got everything to do with the blade: it's got a kangaroo on it. People love kangaroos!


    Edit: Although it sure doesn't look like one. At least from the ones I've seen.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Crikey. Some other people out there place a massively higher value on that razor than I would. Is it supposed to be a crocodile or alligator on the scales? Looks like a very cylindrical lizard and the kangaroo on the blade looks like a child's drawing of a tyrannosaurus rex or a bipedal rat.
