    Default Is this a Microtome?

    EITHER KNIFE OR STRAIGHT RAZOR ? | eBay

    Seller isn't sure what he has. Neither am I. Looks like good quality though.

    I am inclined to guess yes, though that is not the type of microtome typically referred to here on SRP.

    Interesting blade.
    The actual blade, without the frameback looks like a true wedge shape.
    Very cool looking, but wether or not it's meant for shaving, I have no clue.

    Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

    Yes, it is a microtome blade. The handle is for stropping and honing it and is removed to install it into a microtome, either sliding or rotary type.
    I wonder how it would shave? A great bacon slicer, for sure!

    I rest my case.

    I don't know.... but that's pretty cool.

    Shipping's a bear, but still cool.
