    could it be that the razors ground like this were also used liek the JP. style razors (by say a doc prepping the skin pre OP.)
    or is the blade ground the wrong side for that

    Dunno but if you go back to the OP you'll see photos of the grind on the Puma.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I guess I'm also an unintentional member of the microtome club here. I just found this thread or I'd have asked about mine here. I picked up a Rodgers that I thought had a half-ground job - meaning I thought someone had reground the face side to about a quarter grind and left the reverse as a wedge. Looks like I bought a microtome. Here's a link to the auction and the thread I started - does this look like it could be one?

    Could I just point out that a microtome is a device for holding the material whilst it is being sectioned with a microtome knife (razor), rather than the knife itself. Here is a very simple version of one:


    Microtome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Microtome Knives - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    It's possible that some of the wedges we love so much could also have started life as microtome knives too.

    Sorry for being pedantic!
