The Commemorative Quarter for Kentucky







Do you know of Razorblade ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Razorblade. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Razorblade.<1>

We found mention of Razorblade as a post office (see Mentions and References below), but can't determine its location - other than being located somewhere in Letcher County, Kentucky.

It's common that the post office is named the same as the community in which it's located (although that's not always case). In this case, we can't match this post office to any of the existing communities in our gazetteer.<2>

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1883 and closed  in 1887.

Miscellaneous References and Mentions for Razorblade ...

Found in a comprehensive list of Post Offices that was created by Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<3>

Footnotes ...

<1>This entry could have originated in error. It might be that a source had a misprint, was simply wrong or we made a transcription error while referencing it. Many of the documents we reference are from the 1800s and the early 1900s, with some easier to read than others.
<2>Part of the difficulty in identifying whether a name is a post office or a community lies with how Post Offices were named. We've prepared an article with our understanding of how post offices were named: Naming of Post Offices.
