Thread: What is this ?

Anyone know anything about this one ?

Looks like someone used to much pressure on the toe when he honed it, and it might've had a crack near the heal that was reshaped.

Have you ever seen that shape before ? Im new to razors . Gentleman who sold this one to me said its probably one left . I bough of guy in Kraków he said it's really old probably before ww1

It was originally shaped like any normal razor. The heel shape comes from a crack or chip that has been ground out, and the shape at the toe comes from improper honing. You can see the hone wear at the toe that gives a record of this.

Thank you . I will send it to someone to hone it maybe it's still usable .

If you can, next time photograph the tang up close, both sides, where the writting is,,,,this tells us a lot about your razor.
Thanks for sharing it.
