Comissioned straight razor
I figure I might as well post this since I have been taking pics... A guy I went to high school with gave me $150 and wanted a straight razor geared more towards offensive use than shaving.

Re: Comissioned straight razor
I'm curious why you would want to carry a straight razor to use for a defensive/offensive tool. There are so many better options of folding knives meant for that purpose.

Totally understandable-everybody here has at least one "thing" for something... 
Re: Comissioned straight razor
Being a straight razor shaver i can really appreciate this piece. What are planned for scales? Look forward to the finished product! Thanks for the photos.

Interesting piece, i'm a little vague on the defensive part but none the less. Have you ever tried a hollow grind? On a straight razor it give the cutting edge a lot more cutting properties, just my two cents..lol. I made a few of them in the past when done correctly they are sickly sharp.
Good Luck with it,
