    BASTION STRAIGHT RAZOR DAMASCUS STEEL WITH PURE CARBON FIBER HANDLE

    Has anyone used these razors before? Are they worth spending $100 on? The look of the Damascus steel is interesting, though it might look better with something other than the carbon fiber.

    I will let their own words answer your question;

    Bastion LLC is a company that makes custom magazine floor plates and accessories for handguns.




    "Our first attempt at straight razors. We are very happy with the way these came out. Trully one-of-a-kind and aggressive design.
    We used Damascus steel and 3K carbon fiber.
    The razor also features a mosaic Bastion pin. All come with a leather sheath for storage.

    SPECS:
    closed: 6.5" x 1-3/8" x 1/2"
    open: 9.25" x 1-3/8" x 1/2"

    Weight: 2.5oz"


    Pretty much says it,,,,,,,,,,,

    I'd call it "Razor shaped object"
    Spine looks like a good strop destroyer.
