All About Pocket Knives

Here is a Case Brothers Little Valley display razor. The blade itself is a bit over 12 1/4" long. c. 1900-1912.

This is the second one of these I have had the pleasure to own and both of them were just blades without the handles when I got them. The original handles did not stand the test of time. I handled this one in cocobolo wood with an ivory end spacer. I've only seen a few of these over the years and they are quite scarce. I included a picture of a standard size Case Brothers Little Valley razor for scale comparison.

Wow that's huge. Really nice job on the handles. Definitely would get my attention if in the same room.

Wow Wayne ... Did they do shaves with that monster razor or was it for shearing sheep? .. great job rehandling it!!

Very nice. I love ole straight razors and I like both of those. Beautiful Wayne. Great job with the rehandle. Nice choice of material also.

If Paul Bunyan needed a shave he was in luck.

Courios if its sharp? I just sold a big case display knife and had big snap and very sharp. Mine was from 1990, not vintage. Very cool piece Wayne

That's neat! Cocobolo came out nice!!!!

One just ended on Ebay but it did not have the blade etch.

That would make a great display at the corner Barbershop. If of course you could find one of those these days.

Wayne, This is an amazing find, and an incredible re-handle job. Certainly worthy of Braggin rights at any major Knife show. Hopefully it will be on display at Mystic this year. Thanks for posting. Barry

Keith it is sharp.

Barry I'll have it at Mysitc. Hope to see you there.

Wow, that’s a beauty! Very nice job on the handle - lovely wood.
I have just one straight razor, but it’s pretty cool. I’ve told it’s story in the straight razor section. It’s a J. Barlow and Son, pre- 1856.
