Weird razor-like thingy, anyone know what it is?
I was looking through some online auctions and came across this item. Seller claims 16th century razor but I'm not really buying it. Anyone have any idea about this item?
Scales apparently are brass.
Funny looking fella, what ever it was intended for.

Just by it's shape it doesn't look like a straight to me. But that opinion and 2 bucks will get me on the bus.

I think it's supposed to look like an alligator or a sea horse. I have no idea if it's intended to be used as a razor or not.

After doing serious research on this matter... I would have to say that it's...
1. A knife
2. A Butter Knife
3. A Cheese Knife or
4. It's a...Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated...

Interesting item! Like the scales a lot. It looks a bit like one of those things they use on animals - a fleam?
Regards,

Given the location and orientation of the finger placement it would appear to be drawn rather then pushed like a cheese knife.
Is it just me or does there appear to be only one scale as if the other side is missing? It looks like the pins would indicate that there was another at some point.
