    Are you sure it's "cabbage"? I think it's "onion soup" ;) But then my french isn't what it used to be...

    EDIT: Very interesting razor.. French variant of a Japanese razor?

    "Vend small razor cut cabbage gross forge entirely made by hand.
    In a rapid carbon steel (Steel Tool)

    Steve's right - it's a cabbage grater. :D

    I bet you could use it to shave. It looks pretty sweet, whatever it is.

    Is that a pivot hole up near the tang? I've got a razor of similar size, but not a similar shape. The general consensus on mine is that it's a corn razor, but this one looks a bit too serious for that, maybe. If it shaves it would be an excellent size for trimming beards and moustaches - especially the Hercule Poirot type moustache...

    I wonder if the cigarette comes with it.

    My view on life... If you can put an edge on it, you can shave with it. Buy it up and shave that face of yours =-p It still looks sick.

    ahh, shave with it, corns on your feet maybe :happy102
    it's so small? Jimbo just imagine how long it would take you to shave your head with that. Mine would take...a very long time...starting at my fore head actually mine is a five head so even longer.

    Kind regards,

    would make a nice skinning knife, for small game (squirrels). Was talking to a fellow yesterday who told me that not too long back a taxidermist was taking the blades from old straights and putting them in a fixed handle, for use in skiinning.:eek:

    Hm.....All the small game I've dealt with you can just peel the skin off when done correctly. Not much need for a knife. Its an interesting idea though. Maybe the tazidermist is using it to "shave" any fat left on the skin once he takes it off. Just my $0.02
