Spyderco is coming out with a new straight razor. It was shown at the Amsterdam meet this past week. I haven't seen pictures of the version they are going to release, but I think it is going to have carbon fiber scales.
Spyderco is coming out with a new straight razor.
CollaborationI have owned many Spyderco knives over the years and have always been impressed by the quality. I wonder if they are going to build it, or if they will private label someone's razor? Or perhaps a collaboration, which they often do.
Yes, it did.Whoa. Really wonder what steel they chose. I can't even guess how many different steels they've made knives out of.
Edit: It didn't have a hole in the blade, did it?
They look agreive
Realy? I had no idea.Those images were posted in 2013...
Not really.Realy? I had no idea.
But it has to look similar?
Knives seem to have way more different steels than SRs. I wonder why there arent more different types of steels used for straight razors. I am curious how steels like 1095, vg-10, or supersteels like CPM steels would do in a straight razor.Whoa. Really wonder what steel they chose.

I am not a steel expert, but from my vague memory, I think I remember knife people saying they liked vg10 because it was easy to sharpen but was also semi stainless. I would think those characteristics would be good for razors too, but I am probably unaware of some other reason it may not be a good choice.Razor sabre France uses HIGH-CARBON BEARING STEEL 100CR6 in some of their razors.
I have two razors with this steel. I prefere this over the typical so called silver steel from e.g. Dovo.
I would never buy a straight razor in VG10, M390, etc.
