Not seen too often, expecially the holder. Haven't used it yet. I'm going to have to get a blade dull and then see if I can bring it around on this gizmo. In the past, attempting this using a Sexto Razor did not prove to be a working scenario.

Does the binder seem to be holding up on this hone? Definitely an interesting find. Never heard of this before. Thanks

The hone seems fine, good condition actually but a little dry. I'm not planning on using it though.
To guess, it's a typical mid-tier b-hone. I'd rather just leave it as-is.
I have a few other options lined up for testing the handle. .

Why is it called sextoblade?

Because it originally came bundled with six blades that could be removed and stropped.
Cool. Never would have guessed. Fifthoblade and seventhoblade didn't make it.
So do you strop it like a normal straight razor with the blade in the handle or is there an additional sextostrop-thingy?
