Hi guys I have here a cut throat razor like no other ive ever seen its not in concourse condition but must be Victorian or earlier am not sure.
the handle is wooden and the blade has been worn to a strange shape through stropping. photo wont show this properly but the blade looks like its a core of very high carbon steel with an outer coat of lower carbon steel. I will try to some photos up tonight or tomorrow but its so unusual.
looks like it belonged to someone who used them in a pro capacity.
the price for this lovely piece is £25 as a collectors item. there are no makers marks on it which I can see so its anyones guess which country its from
im willing to trade it for a camelback pacteen in a1 condition military one black or green colour
Fairbairn sykes knife
Fairbairn applegate
condore mini bushlore
msr dromedary water bag 4 litre must be mint condition
sawyer water filter new only
mora fire knife in black
marbles mini hunter Damascus
feurhand lantern in superb condition
im also willing to trade it for offers of a modern fixed bladed knife in superb condition (must be factory made and not a mora or hultafors etc)
I would also do the same sort of trade for a folder if it catches my interest photos as soon as I can guys. available to persons over 18 years old.
cheers guys.

Looks to me like a frameback, they were usually made in Sweden and Finland and similar. Definately mid to late 1800's, it sadly looks victim to some dire honing techniques hence the smile at the point of the blade and the frown at the back. It would still make for a great razor with some work on the stones, nice bit of history there...
