Thread: Broken Filarmonica

People cut the spine and make 'shorty' razors, but that is too extreme IMO. Not that it couldn't be done, but whether it would be worth it, usable ....... I don't know ? Others will chime in with their opinions.

that is brutal, breaks my heart

Ugh, say good-bye to my big fren.

It's toast.

I'd keep it because you may at some time be able to make a craft knife or something out of what's remaining. I'm not kidding about that, either - a busted razor with the blade cut down is one of the higher quality precise folding knives that you'll ever get a hold of.

Bummer in terms of the dollars, but probably quite a few of us have done something to chip or break a razor at some point.

Whatever you do, keep the scales. If they are original and undamaged they are worth something. Perhaps you'll luck into a good blade with broken scales down the road.

I feel your pain, this is one of mine here's what happens when someone sells you a vintage razor and doesn't fix and tape a loose top on the box then the razor falls out onto the kitchen tiled floor, all for a simply fix a piece of tape would have save this great looking early JMP Doble temple.

Had that exact thing happen - was holding the box in both hands and suddenly the razor goes sliding off to the left and onto the floor..by luck it hit tang first and it was on fairly thick carpeting...just shook my head and wrote the seller that perhaps in the future an added piece of tape or a FERKING WARNING LABEL might be in order....

Bummer, I don't have any photos, so you'll have to take my word for it, ..... ..... but I had a pair of ivory scaled 6/8 Joe Rodgers & Sons wedges. Dropped one on the tile floor and ruined the ivory scales. I sold the other and gave the blade to a friend, the ruins of the scales to another friend who makes jewelry/trinkets. So I know the feeling.
