Thread: Does anyone make a straight-razor clock?

Does anyone make a straight-razor clock? I'm not talking about the Straight Edge clock, I mean one where the hands actually look like a straight razor. A real razor would be too heavy, but it could work with light-weight materials.

Novel idea....don't think it's been done. I'd have remembered that I think.

Interesting,I restore ships clocks,this would be very simple to do.
A workhorse Chelsea,Howard or seth thomas #10 movement would drive a set of blades no problemo,food for thought

Yes, no doubt it could be done. They have made all kinds of themed clocks over the years and I would be surprised if at one time someone had not done it. I would contact the NAWCC and ask them if they have any info.

I think it would look better as a set with a blade as the hour hand and a scale for the minute hand.

Someone could probably cut the hands out of sheet metal as well.

Would be simple to use the real thing,maybe a miniture sheet metal blade for the seconds bit.

I am borrowing this from tumtatty's beautiful work but how bout a razor from a clock?
