History: (Master of Kung Fu I#106 (fb) - BTS) - Two new Razor-Fists were born when two unnamed brothers were in a car accident, and each lost one of their limbs.

(Master of Kung Fu I#105) - Razor-Fist was sent to Surrey to assassinate Pavane for Carlton Velcro. Invading her estate, he found he also had to contend with Shang-Chi and Leiko Wu. In battle against them, his legs were snared in Pavane's whip, and Shang-Chi kicked him unconscious.
(Master of Kung Fu I#106) - Razor-Fist was interrogated by Pavane, Shang-Chi and Leiko Wu, and revealed his origins to them, but refused to confirm anything they suspected about Velcro's operatoins. Pavane promised to turn him over to MI-6.

(West Coast Avengers II#11) - Razor-Fist was hired alongside Maximillian Zaran and Shockwave by members of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Deltite Conspriacy, and were dispatched to deal with Hawkeye, Iron Man and Mockingbird after they met with Nick Fury at S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Los Angeles headquarters. Claiming to be agents of the Blood Tong, Razor-Fist was defeated by Mockingbird in combat, but was able to escape thanks to a diversion created by Zaran and Shockwave.
(Marvel Comics Presents#2-4, 7-9) - Razor-Fist came into the employ of Roche, a crimelord in Madripoor. When Wolverine became involved in Roche's dealings, Sapphire Styx assaulted him, weakening him with her powers. Razor-Fist then clubbed him unconscious with the flat of his blade. They turned Wolverine over to Roche, but when he broke free, Razor-Fist hunted him down and knocked him off a waterfall. Razor-Fist went on to capture Wolverine's friend O'Donnell, and again faced Wolverine when he broke into Roche's estate. This time, Wolverine delivered a seemingly fatal blow, stabbing Razor-Fist in the chest with both sets of claws.
(Avengers Spotlight#24-25) - His injuries healed, Razor-Fist was one of several enemies of Hawkeye who attempted to collect a bounty placed on him by Crossfire. Although Hawkeye managed to glue his blades together with a putty arrow, Razor-Fist continued to attempt to overcome the archer, only to be defeated by Mockingbird when she and Trickshot came to assist him.
(Captain America I#411-412, [413-414]) - Razor-Fist was present on AIM Island for their latest Weapons Expo, and was set up in advance by Batroc to face Crossbones in a public brawl. However, Captain America was impersonating Crossbones, and was able to defeat Razor-Fist in combat.

(Peter Parker: Spider-Man I#81) - Razor-Fist and Shockwave were employed by an unknown entity to kidnap the son of the Cat (Shen Kuei), in order to force the Cat into abandoning his claims in New York City. The Cat nearly surrendered, but he was joined by Spider-Man, who helped him against the duo. Razor-Fist fought the Cat and nearly beat him, but the Cat was able to destroy Razor-Fist's new hands with a powerful karate chop, and then knocked Razor-Fist unconscious.

(Toxin#1) - Needing a new home in New York, Razor-Fist had a homeless man bring him to an abandoned building, where he quickly slew the squatters who tried to defend their space.
(Toxin#2) - Razor-Fist began drawing followers to him, attracting people who cut themselves such as a young student named Anton, and put them to work feeding and cleaning him while teaching them how to master pain. When Anton was given some of Razor-Fist's bandages to clean, he was tracked down by the symbiote Toxin, who was hunting Razor-Fist by scent. Anton brought Toxin to Razor-Fist's lair in the sewers, where Toxin fell into a pit where Razor-Fist tested himself on cornered animals. Toxin's symbiote half refused to aid its human half for the fight, assuming a weak form that it called "Larry" instead of its battle form.
(Toxin#3) - Razor-Fist toyed with Toxin until it finally assume its battle form, and Razor-Fist ran away, slicing a follower of his named Lulu on the way out, which forced Toxin to stop and help her to a hospital. One of Razor-Fist's followers, a police officer named Perkins, informed Razor-Fist that Toxin was tracking him by scent, so he had his followers bathe him in perfume to mask his smell.
(Toxin#5 (fb)) - Razor-Fist led his followers to an Italian restaurant, where they massacred all of the patrons, then stole the security camera so that he could use it for training purposes.
(Toxin#5) - As Razor-Fist began to plot his ambitious "Slasherday," blackmailing New York with the claim that he would start a massacre unless money was donated to his bank account, he still worried that Toxin might interfere, when Perkins informed him that one of his colleagues, Eddie Meadows, claimed to know Toxin. Razor-Fist captured Meadows and tortured him until he revealed that Toxin was Pat Mulligan. He then turned Meadows over to his youngest followers, the "Piranha Tots." Razor-Fist then tracked down Toxin's father, Jim Mulligan.
(Toxin#6) - The elder Mulligan fought back, but Razor-Fist dealt him a fatal stab wound just as Toxin appeared on the scene. They fought for a moment, but Toxin ended the fight to check on his father, allowing Razor-Fist to escape. Finding that his "Slasherday" fund had drawn a measely $35.10, Razor-Fist prepared to start the bloodbath, but one follower named Samantha, a film student, tried to convince him that they could find satisfaction in filming fake murders rather than actually committing them. Razor-Fist was unconvinced, and was about to stab Samantha when Toxin arrived, and Toxin tore both of his blades off his arms, then knocked him out, and turned him over to the authorities. Razor-Fist was fitted with prosthetic arms and returned to Ryker's, but some of his followers avoided capture.
(Daughters of the Dragon#2 (fb) - BTS) - Now operating with only one blade Razor-Fist was hired by Ricadonna to retrieve a computer chip that was stolen by a few lower-tier criminals. His first target was Freezer Burn.
(Daughters of the Dragon#1) - On his search for the chip Razor-Fist killed Freezer Burn, who wasn't very cooperative, and his girlfriend Heather McDermott. When Colleen arrived she found Razor-Fist standing over Freezer Burn's corpse and he threatened to kill Heather's baby too if Colleen made one move.
(Daughters of the Dragon#2) - Colleen attacked Razor-Fist and he dropped the baby, which was caught by Misty Knight and brought to safety. Meanwhile the fight between Razor-Fist and Colleen continued. It ended when Colleen cut off his blade. She immediately took care of the wound to prevent that Razor-Fist bleeded to death.
(Civil War: Front Line#9/2) - Back in the Raft Razor-Fist, Grim Reaper and Justine Hammer attempted a breakout during Robbie Baldwin's arrival at the Raft. Grim Reaper provoked Baldwin to get him near Razor-Fist, who grabbed him with his hooks and threatened to kill him if the guards didn't back off. Meanwhile Justine teleported to the surveilance room and opened the cells. Outside his cell Razor-Fist used Baldwin as a shield. He pushed him forwards and hurt Baldwin so badly that his powers manifested explosively. Razor-Fist and all the other prisoners present were knocked out.

Comments: Created by Doug Moench and Gene Day.
Razor-Fist has been the butt of many joke by fans over the years because of his lack of hands, rendering him unable to dress, bathe or eat. The bionic hands he was granted in Peter Parker: Spider-Man I#81 would have made up for this, but they didn't last.
Of course, it's no wonder that the bionic hands didn't last-- the costume Romita Jr. designed to go with them is pretty dull-- it looks like a mis-colored HYDRA uniform!
Shockwave and Razor-Fist's employer in Peter Parker: Spider-Man I#81 was unrevealed, but I would assume it to be either Hydra or the Maggia, since they had been making the rounds in Mackie's Spider-Man at the time.
His real name was revealed in the New Avengers: Most Wanted Files.
A Razor-Fist was seen in JLA/Avengers#4, but since the characters in this story were pulled forward from different times, it could've been one of the others.
Profile by Prime Eternal. Updates by Markus Raymond.
CLARIFICATIONS:
Razor-Fist should not be confused with:
Two servants of the House of Razor, one a former homecoming queen, the other the daughter of a diplomat, attended to Razor-Fist as he prepared to make an attempt on Elektra's life. Upon his failure, they informed Elektra that they would return him to the House of Razor.
The servants were presumably responsible for dressing, feeding, and cleaning Razor-Fist.
