I reckon the Dovo blade is going to look a little lost (and feel a bit resentful) in those scales. From what I have read the overall length varies from 10.5 to 11.5 inches and a Dovo tortoise I have here is 9.5 inches overall...

These Sweeney Todd razors must be pretty popular, even Boker has lowered itself to produce them Boker Magnum Fleet Razor | eBay . Anything for a buck I suppose.
Back to the original post. I think like the others that it may not do the balance of the razor any good but it is so cheap to do why not give it a go.

"Magnum" is the branch of Boker that makes knives, not razors. In the item description, they call it a knife in the shape of a razor. Took me a while to recognise that too.
Darthlord, I think I will lap it a bit, just to make them a bit lighter, although I think the scales will still be too long to look aesthetic. My dovo, in it's current state, is 10" fully opened.
Ok, after a lot of searching, these sweeney todd razors look far too long and heavy for me to even consider using.
I'm bidding on a medical razor instead.
Go for one which has very thin scales, preferably a hollow-grind in a good brand, like that Butler I pictured above. Lots of them are, well, somewhat crude, IMO.
My initial reaction is to say DON'T DO IT! but that's probably because I've been resisting the urge for the last 5 years to try the exact same thing! I guess if you do it, it'll save me a few bucks and we can all learn from your experiment. So, if the desire is there, go for it - and let us know how it turns out. ...but you'll still get made fun of just a little.... :popcorn:
