Rare double bladed French Razor with decorated and colored whalebone handle with iron pin covers. This double bladed pattern always has a shaped whalebone handle. I believe that they were connected with the military, most likely “Navy” as the few examples that I encountered have themes of anchors & rope on the blades, military figures carved and sometimes colored into the bone handles. Claude Rondeau’s Collection ha the most I have ever seen in one place. They were all sold in the last auction session. I have had a few over the past 50 years in my own collection. Perhaps, they were made for the French market by the cutlers of Sheffield? If you have not had the opportunity to obtain one of these rarities, this is a colorful example.
