All About Pocket Knives

This straight razor was made for the Virginia-Carolina Hardware Co of Richmond, VA. It's the first straight razor I've ever bought. I don't collect straight razors, but cutlery related to old Virginia-based companies is extremely rare. I don't even care that part of the back handle broke off or that I have no idea how old it is. I'm just happy I was able to get a rare piece of Virginia cutlery.

Same here Dcgm4the one I get are old local or ones I have in my Grandpa's work boxes which has some neat old stuff.

Very nice looks as clean as a whistle

Thanks, guys. I just added another Virginia-Carolina Hardware razor to my collection. This one doesn't have the original box like the other, but it's in better shape.

Very cool!! I hope you end up with a knice collection!

Thanks, Scott. I hope I can find a few more Virginia razors. I love rare old pieces like these.

Good looking razors. Just judging from what I see, looks like early 20th Century razors to me.

Nice finds.

Thanks a lot, Wullie. I've been having a hard time dating them even after reading a book on straight razors.

dcgm4 I know this is a really old thread but I have a Virginia Carolina hdwe. Straight razor dated 1907 you might be interested in seeing.
Please advise me if you're interested.
Thank you!
