2.5 kg, that would take 2 hands to manage!
A great razor to have in your collection I'm expecting this to make big bucks I'll put it in my watch list and see what happens.
And to hone, just use the wife's marble countertops!
Imagine if you slipped... I don't think a styptic crayon would stop the bleeding...
Anyone know French? What are the scales made of?
Haha, I was just waiting for someone to make a post about this listing. I will confess, I happened to catch it when it had been posted only a few hours so I put in the initial 200 Euro bid. I don't aim to win it and fully expect some people to try and snipe it. If I even wanted a giant display razor I would not want it to be unmarked like this one though the detail on the scales is quite pretty. I am positive the scales are not ivory, not like that Henckels razor, but I am not sure what it is, maybe some sort of wood? I don't know any French (despite taking two years of it way back in high school lol) but this is the description run through Google Translate:
Quote:
Single object.
Cup giant cabbages.
In good condition.
Demonstration model for Cutler showcase.
Even materials, design and construction to use a razor.
Hollowed blade.
Other photos on request.
60 cm long
Blade: 27/8;) 9cm
weight: 2.5kg
the second cutting cabbage is there to scale it does not leave this sale, is on sale elsewhere (see my articles on sale)
Coupe Choux= cabbage cutter=straight razor...like our "chopper" or the Brit's "cutthroat razor."

I tried to bid or watch but it wants me to sign in, tried and it says wrong email or password, strange because eBay from other countries works.. hmm? Any of you tried to no avail?
Ofcourse its nothing compared to the glory that which is the famed Henckels display razor with ivory scales.. if I had THAT one I would have a security system dedicated to its safety! :D wouldn't want a group of fanatical straight razor freaks going all "Oceans Eleven"!
