    Aren't they cool? If they are good maybe some of you people can make a good razor out of them.

    Seller says that the handle is bone shaped. I'd guess that the scales are carved or moulded to look like bamboo. Probably the blade will clean up nicely and the razor used as is.

    Yea, I just bought that razor. I was thinking bamboo also. Doesn't look like any bone I have ever seen.

    Don't know wheter the blade is restorable, but at least the scales look good.

    They are imitation Bamboo scales and were popular for re-handling in days gone by.
