I wish you well in your venture.

In the old days when cutlers sold every type of utensils they knew the difference between a knife and a straight razor. Lets just say some times that has been forgotten in modern times for knife makers wanting to add making straight razors to there repertoire. I also think a lot of straight razor users like a straight razor to look like a traditional straight razor. It is really hard to improve what has evolved over 300 odd years.

I understand that a hole in the blade is a Syderco trademark but for me it does not work with a straight razor as I am a traditionalist. The minimum preferable size for me is 5/8 but better yet 6/8 in full hollow with any of the traditional style tips.
