Haha! He doesn't know any other way. One of those people that always comes in tops in everything he does (mentally and physically) and laughs along the way. Annoys the hell out of us mortals sometimes.

I'm not entirely sure what group he is/will be with. To be honest, his status is a bit nebulous to me right now. ...I imagine that may be intentional. I'm of the impression he still has a bit of training to do. No doubt he'll get through it though (see reply to Wullie).


Here are a couple more pics of the razor. It's not as perfect as I'd like. ...There is some pitting up near the Celebrated stamp, and whoever honed it last did a less-than-pretty job on the bevel. Still, other than refreshing the edge and making it shaveable, I'm not planning to restore it. Those grind marks are too pretty to take sandpaper to. Plus, you've gotta love the original collars and the horn scales are in amazing condition.


I highly doubt this would have been an army issued razor. Just army themed.

Here's an SRP link to another thread about them. I pondered the history of this thing for quite a while before I wised up and did a search on it. Turns out I had come to many of the same original conclusions that Voidmonster did. Then I had the blade inscribed ...then found his thread and suddenly didn't feel so special or smart (regarding the inscription or the history). Felt more "special smart" given that it had all actually been done two years prior.
