Ah, disappointing! The Knight would have been pure comedy! (I shudder to think of the man who seriously felt he needed a model of a Knight bowing to him, but taken in irony its brilliant!)
You're right though, if it turned out to be cheap and nasty plastic it would be pretty difficult to face looking at it every day. Gawd knows what yer missus would say. (I already know what mine would say!)
There surely must be genuinely stylish non- comedic stands for SRs. I've seen things on Ebay that sellers use to hold the blade in such a way that you can photograph it to show the grind toe-on. But not sure that's what you want to use for daily storage/display. There are also fairly dull razor and brush stands that will take a straight, but again, miss the point a bit.
Maybe a vintage Action Man or Steve Austin, and a dab of glue to keep his arms in position?!
Hahaha how funny would that be?
