    Default Hen and Rooster

    It's an odd little "Chopper" from Hen and Rooster known for their knives out of Solingen Germany. Looks almost to scale with a wedge blade and an unusual tail. It measures out at 7/16. Not bad for its size compared to the other W.Morley and the L.S & Co. corn razors.
    Just fun little pieces for the collection.

    Love the shape, very nice blade indeed! Could be a corn razor or a mustasch one.

    It only opens to 180 degrees but the little tab makes it very secure to use almost like a knife when it lands against the scales. Acts like a non folding knife.
    Odd little pieces but there is a certain fun factor in them. They make me smile.

    Maybe it's a pocket knife meant to look like a straight?

    I honed a Hen and Rooster razor for a member last week, it took a beautiful edge-- hopefully you'll find the same to be true of this little guy.

    As candy goes, this too is "fun size".
    I tend not to think it was intended as a pocket knife as there is nothing to keep it closed while in your pocket. I'd hate to stick my hand in there to fish it out and have that blade opened. Small as it is my initial impressions this will take a great edge. It's pretty wicked even now. May be a little pup, but it has a big bite.

    I'd wipe away the whiskers from my face with it without misesteem.
