Thread: 3/8 International Cutlery...Mini razor?

Not sure if it's a mustache razor or what... It's just shy of 3/8 and about 2.5" tip to tail. International Cutlery, Ohio. Star Brand (?)

Long story short, I was trying to get a W&B chopper at a flea market (the guy, however knew they were valuable but assumed a pitted one with holes in the horn was worth $120), I managed to get a smaller W&B, a Dubl Duck and 2 other razors... plus this one. There doesn't seem to be any damage to the edge, some discoloration but milking the blade it feels smooth with no pits or high points.

Anyone have any info on this? I almost hesitate to put it to the stones since I'm still pretty damn green.

My guess is that may be a corn razor.

Others will chime in I'm sure. The size and point make me think that.

My guess is also that it's a corn razor, but there are some very small straights out there. George Korn made them for his own company and others, but I've not seen one of his that looked like that. Torrey made them too, but they didn't look like that either.

Most definitely a corn razor!

I've never actually seen a corn razor before. It could be. If it is, I'm surprised at how hollow the grind is. Although I've never heard otherwise, I guess I always assumed they'd be wedgy.

Corn razor.
