I found an interesting razor online that i thought might be a good topic for a thread. I was'nt able to post pictures and it is my understanding that direct linking to live auctions is against the forum rules. (If anyone can link me to the forum rules i would be thankful, as i have been unable to find them.) This "ancient relic" razor has a narrow wood handle with a pivot, the blade is large and spatula like maybe 4" long and 2" wide or bigger. It has a very short shank and no tang. Has anyone heard or seen anything like this? I wonder if it is legitimatly ancient? It looks to be the furthest think from a practical razor. The actual dimentions ar in cm. The handle is 14cm. The blade is 10cm long and about 5cm width.

Those show up on eBay periodically. I don't know if it is real or not but those could easily be faked. Are you planning on using it? Or just for decoration?
I've seen lots of those on ebay. So many that my "fake radar" needle keeps hitting the stopper on the BS side of the dial. I would save my money, if I were you. Sure, it is possible that squillions of those things have survived the test of time. China has a long history. But I am betting there is a blacksmith somewhere churning them out now, dunking them in hydrochloric acid to "age" them, and selling them by the pound.
Looks like someone ran over a spoon with a big lorry!
