Thread: Microtome razor

A few months ago I posted a Microtome razor and Glen suggested that I reshape the blade like some sort of medieval axe and rescale it for maximum effect. At that time I blacked out the areas of the blade with a magic marker that I would remove and the resulting shape was really medieval. But I opted to not alter the blade shape at that time.

I have since thought about reshaping this blade but still hesitate for fear of altering a piece of history. My question is "should I or shouldn't I" do it. Part of me wants to and part of me doesn't.

I am torn between some sort of medieval shape and turning it into a Japanese Kamisori blade. Help me out here, boys. What should I do with this microtome blade?
