Thread: Size of a Dwarf?

I am getting A Double Duck Dwarf this week. I have a question or two. How long is the razor from end to end? How long is the handle end to end? The reason I ask is in the picture it looked like it was in a standard size handle. There seemed to be about 3/4" to 1" between the front end of the blade and the wedge in the end of the handle when closed. I saw a picture of another one that didn't have so much space there. Is this normal or did the dwarf have smaller handle scales?

About 3'6" usually... Oh, I see what you mean now!

Seriously though, something to be aware of if the blade looks way short for the scales is that the blade may have been cut down to remove a chip or other damage. The usual distance between wedge and toe is about 1/16" - 1/8". More than that and its possible the blade's been cut down.

First look here there is every type of Duck you can think of

However, I have 2 Dwarf Razors and I will tell you now they are not the same.. One is Bresnick the other is Bresduck IIRC and there are slight differences


Stu:
The usual distance between wedge and toe is about 1/16" - 1/8". More than that and its possible the blade's been cut down.

Or it is a factory TI in which case none of these rules apply

Does anyone out there own a dwarf, that can give me the measurements? Thank you.

Tip of wedge to tip of tail - 5.88"
Tip of tail to toe - 5.26"
Scale thickness - .10"
Scale length - 5.07"
Center of pivot pin to heel - 1.45"
Thickness at spine - .17"
Thickness at just above bevel - .0090"
Heel to toe - 2.68"
Spine to edge - .65"
Distance from pivot pin (center) to center pin (center) - 1.36"
Distance from center pin (center) to wedge pin (center) - 3.05"
Thickeness of wedge - .08" (top and bottom of scales) - .03" (at the outter edge)
Gap at wedge (inside to inside of scales) - .07"
Gap at center pin (inside to inside of scales) - .11"
Gap at pivot pin (inside to inside of scales) - .14"
Distance between blade and wedge - .17"
Length of logo (left to right edges of underline) - 1.35"
Height of logo (Top of ducks head to bottom of underline) - .18"

Glen worked a chip out of this razor so the 5/8 or 11/16 may be a tad off... that and I ain't smooshin' my caliper on the edge.

Having a caliper has its advantages huh. Maybe I'll get me one of those ;-)

Thank you Logistics,
Thats what I was looking for, and more. I haven't gotten the razor yet, but I think I may have gotten a shorty. We'll see when it comes in the mail.

And that's why they call him "Logistics"!!!
