    Those knives were issued to the army lads. The sailor's knives only had a blade.

    Great find! I've scored a few because I told people I shaved with a straight.

    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one

    This is how the conversation went:
    Mother: Have I ever showed you your grandfather’s razors?
    Me: what razors
    Mother: your grandfather’s razors
    Me: No, what razors
    Mother: There in a box
    Me: Go get them
    Mother: There is four or them in a box
    Me: Go get them
    Mother: I think he used them in the war
    Me: Go get the razors
    Mother: I think there is a safety razor up there too?
    Me: Please mum, go and get the razors
    Stepfather: I have some straight razors upstairs as well, they were my grandfather’s
    Me: PLEASE GO GET THE RAZORS!!!!


    Needless to say, 30 minutes later I’m on the way home with some new additions to the collection and a very very big smile! Yes I can accept there is some cleaning up to be done, but very happy with my new gifts.
    Cool story and an awesome find. Now do not ever sell
