Knife used as a razor. Are you nuts ???

[Nemo]

Hello,

Of course knives are not razors and we remember Crocodile Dundee...

This morning I have been able to shave with my M2 Nimravus Cub and my forged La Griffe.

Stupide games especially when you got a Gillette MachIII on the shelve.

But it works.

I heard someone reviewed Chris Reeve Project I and try that also...(I think it was Thaddeus Hornbaker).

Who else as ever tried and with what knife ?
(Kellam Knives ?)

cheers,
JM

A.G Russell, being the great salesman that he is, used to gather up a crowd and sharpen up an ax and shave with it at knife shows.

My grandfather during slow times as a cabinet maker, ran a barber shop out of his house! I have many of his straight razors that have been "brought back to life" and am fairly comfortable shaving with them!!
If you will look on my webpage, there is a Tanto knife towards the bottom. It's 11.5" long, 3/16 A2 steel with a Ti and silk wrapped handle. Other than being a little big for the job, It will shave as well as any razor! That knife is a prototype, I don't make the edges quite that thin on knives for customers. Several versions of that knife will be available soon, including a neck knife!

Tom are you thinking of Juranich? I know he writes of this in his book. Did A.G. do this also?

 

[TomW]

Yep according to articles on old knife books he did. Maybe he was the first one to do it.
As I recall it was when he was selling Arkansas stones.

During the NJ Firefighter's Convention in 1997, I allowed by head to be experimented upon, in order to discover what I'd look like with a "High and Tight", 15 years after boot camp.
This was accomplished by two people using a Sebenza and a SOG Bowie.

There was some bloodletting, yep, but the end result left no hair showing, and my friends left in a state of perpetual awe.
(Not sure if they were in awe of the blade's sharpness, or in awe of how odd I looked.)

Vampire Gerbil: similar to a domestic gerbil, except for the odd accent and little black cape.

Twelve or so years ago I used a Boy Scout Buck 110 as a razor at scout camp. I was there as a leader and had forgotten to bring a razor. So I just used what was at hand. Didn't do such a bad job.

Done it? you bet!! Do it again? yep!! I don't have to waste disposable razors(the pieces of junk)

 

[Cougar Allen]

I used to shave with a knife when traveling so I wouldn't have to bring a razor. Since it's me, though, that's pretty debatable as evidence to refute your premise....

More lately I've gotten soft and bring a razor with me.

I shaved with my Marine Ka-bar just to prove to a friend that it would.

So finally we are all nuts ! The Sebenza (mine is ATS34 old model) and the Starmate are great razors also !
Next try the chainsaw !

Cheers,
