Ask Pierce Brown discussion

I just started re-reading Golden Son and I noticed something in Part Two of the book. Although Cagney is supposed to have taken Darrow's razor after the Bellonas cornered Darrow, Darrow uses it in the duel with Cassius at the Gala and when hell breaks loose Cagney has his razor again. Is this some kind of mistake or am I missing something here?

«Praetor Kellan looks about to grab my feet and jerk me down where Cagney would no doubt cut my throat with my own razor.»

«My blade flashes between whip and curved slingBlade.»

«Cagney au Bellona is first to me. My stolen blade rasps toward my neck»

Could be have meant "my blade in his hands"? (though I'd have to actually read it again)

I believe Darrow carried a borrowed razor after his was taken. As a Gold he would always have one. Cagney had his special personal razor. The second quote seems to refer to the borrowed razor Darrow carries. The other two refer to his stolen blade wielded by Cagney.

Yes, the book says that he has a borrowed razor, but then in his duel with Cassius, he uses his personal razor, because it changes into a slingblade. Why whould his borrowed razor turn into a slingblade?

I thought all razors could take different shapes. Darrow just always preferred the shape like the slingblade of his youth.

Ah, I thought that only his razor could change into a slingblade, that it was custom made by Mustang. I didn't know all razors could change into whatever shape they wanted. Thanks, my goodman.
