    I think the Heljestrand is actually a short razor, not cut down. The scales, wedge, pins, and blade are original 2 3/4" short. The metal doesnt show distress or abnormal markings that typically indicate reworks.

    I am finding very little about it so far and I am not sure how rare or common these are, but I like the fact that the scales are flawless. No cracks, no gauges, no nicks - just thin smooth clean ivory.

    The Creswick scales are really nice also. The crack is ok with me because it missed the pin. They look old and fossil like, also very thin scales.
