Many thanks to all.
I have to say that I was not alone... Siamois was the mind, I was just the hands.

it seems that this sword was big and bulky and not usefull in combat, it explain its nickname
I don't know why it gives its name to straight razors.

An other explanation :
in french slang,...

yes... or "cabbage cutter". A "coupe-chou" is originally an infantery sword in early 1800 :

Thanks you all very much.:o




I think Siamois asked, with much persuasion, directly Thiers-Issard. ;)

Spacer is with gold plated brass and elephant ivory.

Gold plated washers and ivory painted pins.

Hi!
First of all, many apologies for my so bad english.

For my friend Siamois, member of the Coupe-Chou Club (french forum about straight razor)
He bought a new grelot blade and ask me to scale...
