I know about & have made axes & knives from the style used before high carbon steel was common. On an axe everything was made from wrought iron & just the edge was shear or blister steel forge welded to the wrought iron. Same with knives an about any other cutting tool. I wonder if any very early razors were made in this way. Many knives were made this way also. I may try this process when I get a shop up & running & see if I can get a razor blank made & then ground.
