Cut my knuckle open with razor. should i go to the er?

If the wound is deep: Enough that it gapes or doesn't close then you may need sutures. If you have damaged underlying structures you may need surgical repair. The wound may need to be cleaned and you may need a tetanus shot. So, yes the er is a wise choice.
