I can not see there would be any forgiveness in the blade like a full hollow blade would have.
Too large as well most likely and that tip, asking to kiss goodbye to anything not absolutely smooth upon your dial!

Nope, looks like a piece of paki steel to me that's been shaped like a razor. Judging by the photos the spine width doesn't compliment the bevel angle and the convex shape of the bevel tells me that it's been ran across a reject shop knife sharpener. This seller has named all his steel damascus. This is where it gets interesting. Real damascus steel starts around $1000 for a straight razor, prob within that margin for a kitchen knife. Then you have damascus etching which is done by vinegar to bring out that pattern. If I get one for free it will end up in the dump, scrap metal wont even take it. I hate sellers like this.

That metal is a travesty. Whoever made this should be taken out and shot.
Even that end pin is a complete waste of time. The wood that they used for the scales looks okay though, nice patterning, no major imperfections.
Cheeeeeeeeap and nasty subcontinental crap.

I'd like to cut this tool a new orifice with the tool he created.
It looks like it has been sharpened with an old angle grinder cutting wheel. Just hopeless.
That said, if I did EEVblog style videos on Youtube dedicated to shaving, then you can bet I would use something like this in my mailbag segment in order to open things up. Dave uses a Croc Dundee knife for comedic effect and everyone overseas loves it so much that they keep mailing him all sorts of electronic gear at a considerable cost just so they can see him open the packages with the knife.
