I tested several of these a couple years ago. They are very pretty, but I felt like I was shaving with a pocket knife. Originally Posted by edk442

You know you just gave me an idea. I have a Bertram Hen and Rooster pocket knife with a hollow grind blade. Maybe I can sell it to Joel as a straight and make a fortune. Originally Posted by Lynn

Is it possible to make really unusual shaped blade with a spine that you could clip on to the razor whilst honing and remove during shaving - it could make for some very interesting designs.

I know Livi has done that for a razor with abalone spine inlays or something. The point is- the shape of the blade would have to be conducive to a spine following the curvature of the edge IMO. Originally Posted by nickyspaghetti

What I meant was a straight edge, but with the rest of the blade in whatever shape that pleases you then when you come to hone it, you clip on the straight spine that enables you to hone the edge with no problems.
I have several razors that have uneven spines that make honing a pain - not from creativity but age. Maybe if you used an artificial spine you could hone them much easier as the spine would be perfectly proportioned relative to the edge.
