But that thing cannot be a straight. Think of the weight that thing has and how would you use it going around the bend of your chin.

All joking aside it does look like it was made for industrial use in a lab or factory. I have made many a custom tools as a Tool and Die Maker and this blade an d the box sure does look like custom tooling. It also looks like a microtome style. If it is a custom tool I wouldn't be too concerned about the metal quality. Most manufacturing tools are made of the best metal to meet the requirements.
