Thread: Kriegar Pakawood Hollow ground Straight Razor Knife

Cheap razor but i liked the looks of it. Its heavy something like 8ozs. Anyone tried to actually use one? Its got no edge on it as shipped.

Stay well away if I were you. These use cheap steel which is inconsistent in quality. Some may not take or hold decent shaving edges.

This brand is on the list of razors not to buy. Many here will not call it a razor, but refer to it as a 'razor shaped object,' useful for opening letters and the like.

If you wish to experience the art of straight razors, there are many places to buy a shave ready straight, right here in the classifieds, or Straight razor designs.

Edit - Sorry it looks like you've already purchased one. Try to return it if you can.

I know it was on this list but i bought it any ways. This isnt a razor its a foldable butter knife. Ive got no desire to actually use it I was just wondering if it was able to be sharpened. I just bought it because i like to look of the stainless and wood. I cant believe how heavy this thing is. 2 or three times heavier than my other razors.

Most things can be sharpened but not all can be shaved with.

One thing about stainless & razors. The famous Friodurs are made with 440 C SS.
Any lower quality stainless alloys simply won't work for shaving due to poor edge holding.
IIRC the SS in Kriegars is used for making rust resistant furniture & such.
