I finally picked up a straight razor. Peter J Michels - Merit 10/16 which I am assuming might be a marketing way of saying 5/8. Brown plastic, wood grain scales with small chips, original box in fair condition, the blade is in very good condition. I guess it is time to learn to sharpen this puppy or rebuild it with some new scales. I do have some ivory colored iron wood that would look good. Anyway it has been a good day
