Spyderco Straight Razor

If they use the trade mark Spydie hole you can count me out, there is absolutely no reason to put that on a straight razor, it was first put up on the Straight Razor Place in 2020 by Mike.

Mike Blue is no longer in the picture. They used another maker. I think Mr. Blue had some serious health issues crop up a couple of years ago. Spyderco is back on track with a different partnership.

Well whoever the designer is? let us hope they get it right, hope they don't go for the bog standard 01 steel hope they choose something a bit more special like suminagashi blue paper steel.
 
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.
VG 10 might not be the worst candidate. I only have one spyderco knife with that steel. Compared to other high carbon steels it was not a pleasure to sharpen.
