The Cut-Throat Straight Razor – USA Damascus DIY Kit Series is a traditional straight razor platform built for makers who want a true custom build experience with premium materials and authentic Damascus character. Featuring a hollow-ground USA-made Damascus blade blank, this kit revives the classic “cut-throat” razor profile with modern heat treatment and precision machining. At its core, the design is compact, balanced, and purpose-driven, giving builders a clean foundation to craft a fully customized heirloom-grade straight razor.
This series is offered in 9 variations to match different build preferences. The base version includes the USA Damascus blade blank and stainless pinstock only, allowing full freedom for handle design and material selection. The remaining variations are complete combo kits that pair the blade with carefully selected hardwood scales, simplifying the build process while maintaining a premium handcrafted result. Each wood option changes the visual personality of the finished razor while keeping the same high-performance blade platform.
Each kit is designed for builders who want control over fit, finish, and final geometry. Whether starting from a raw blade blank or working from a matched hardwood set, the Cut-Throat platform delivers a consistent foundation for precision craftsmanship.
