Question about bladeart.com's classification.

[TheMightyGoat]

Some knives on bladeart.com have "razor" written under the blade style. Is this razor as in straight razor? Like... made/able to shave with? If not, what does it mean?

It means plainedge, as opposed to serrated.

Far as I saw, there was only one knife with that classification. That part of the page is to classify blade style/profile. And the one that is called a razor is because it is thta, blade profile is that of a straight razor.

I saw at least one other "razor", maybe more, but only one that I remember well. It was a folding knife with a slightly curved blade... I'd give a link, but I'm too lazy to find it.
