Hope I'm OK posting this here. It's a knife and it's said you can shave with it. Take some skill though..
This was my old swiss army knife I had as a kid (1980s) and if you see any going at car boot sales ect maybe grab. Plus look out for vintage razor's. Both are very collectable..
Problem with these is the scales go bad and some make some tidy replacements but not cheap.
I just picked up some hardwood and using my electric sander got at it.
Then I cut by hand to shape with Stanley knife and finally finished sanding by hand.
I serviced knife. Stuck on wooden scales with polymer mastic from DIY (£4)
Oiled the wood.
Walked out in the garden and took this picture.
Now the question you want to know is can you shave with it?
Well I believe so and I've decided to try but maybe the easy bits going easy just for interest. The knife is well sharp.
Not a razor as such but a restoration project..
