    Default Straight razor with wooden handle and reverse tang

    I have an antique razor my father gave me, but don't know much about it. I don't know how long he's had it and it doesn't contain any visible marks on it. At least none that I can see. The tang is reversed and that seems to be the defining feature, the point is concave. I also don't know much about wood, but looks like rose wood. Any help?

    BTW, it measures 7 inches and the blade is 3.5 inches. I guess the tang isn't really reversed, but it just looks like it!

    Welcome to SRP.
    Sorry, can't recognise any characteristics to identify it. Very unusual tang
