How are you measuring yours? The length of the cutting edge, from heel to toe, on mine is about 1 7/8 inch. From pivot pin to wedge pin is right at 3 inches, and the absolute longest length, from tip of the tail to the wedge end of the scales, is a bit under 4 inches.

Yea I measured from heal to toe.

Here are some little fellows. Left to right, a teeny Henckels corn razor, a Hejestrand, Wm Temporal, Jos Rodgers, Mab, And Maw, Son, and Sons, which was part of a surgical set.

I didn't know you had one of the Maw & Sons surgical razors! Does yours have the broad arrow on the pile-side?

(I'm guessing that's what Gold Dragon's razor is -- a surgical prep razor)

I have always thought a corn razor was for detasseling corn.....

I will look to see about the arrow, yet I do not remember it. A neat, tight little jewel!
Does not really tarnish? German Silver, I think.

The scales, at least. The blade on mine is pitted. Took a killer edge though! It may be tiny, but it's fun to shave with.

Definitely German silver scales, heavy on the copper in the alloy.

I just looked over at this thread.

Apparently I *did* know you had one.

I'm losin' my edge, man! I can't remember every piece in everyone else's collection anymore!

Gawd! I had forgotten about that!

Yep! The arrow is there!



I suppose it now goes into the 'Zak' Pile!
