Antique Small Size Straight Razor Ox Bone Handle Wedge Blade Barber Shaving
Antique folding straight razor featuring an ox-bone handle and an carbon-steel wedge-style blade. The slender, gently curved bone scales are secured with dark metal pins and display natural grain, age-related yellowing, scratches, and surface wear. The blade retains its traditional square-point profile with an extended curved tang for opening and control.
Based on its simple construction and wedge-style blade, it likely dates to the late 19th or early 20th century, though an exact age cannot be confirmed.
Measures approximately 4 1/8" long when closed. Blade measures approximately 2 1/4" long, with an overall open length of approximately 6 1/4". See photos for dimensions/scale.
Condition: Antique condition with substantial oxidation, dark staining, pitting, scratches, and sharpening wear throughout the blade. The cutting edge is worn and will require professional restoration and honing before any possible use. Ox-bone handle shows discoloration, scratches, small surface marks, and general wear consistent with age. The razor opens and folds, though it has not been tested for shaving. Please review all photographs closely for the complete condition.
