Anyone else been watching this J Rodgers.
I didn't bid because it was already at more than what I'd be willing to pay for it yesterday but I like the look of it.
I'm a big fan of beveled spines and this one has a very interesting point.

I'm so depressed that I missed the Mappin in MOP............
Though it was ending later.......... Gone for nothing.......
(Yeah I know, I'd had sniped it, but with the ebay restrictions rules, in France we have to bid directly, the snips are canceled).Last edited by Thaeris; 01-31-2015 at 11:44 AM.

Yup, been watching. Just curious to see where it'll end. That grind on the nose looks like my lathe parting tool. Seller had a bunch of nice blades

I had not seen it. I'm glad you shared it. It is a most interesting piece, and I am suppose to be trying to reduce my collection right now. I'm glad I saw it after the fact.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

Yes quite a few of us are fans of smiling blades, they are fantastic for necks as the curve matches the shape of neck hollows better, they aren't so good for getting dead straight lines at sideburns with however. Originally Posted by noobs

Had to search for it and I think it's this one: Originally Posted by Thaeris

The blade is a piece of junk for the thrash can, so it's $65 for a pair of plain MOP scales that the reverse is not shown - could be worth if one is into that kind of thing and that kind of risk

Well, the state of the blade doesn't matter that much. I've plenty of nice old blades that would fit perfectly those scales (and so does the guy that bought it
)
However, a solid pair of unbroken (said in the description) MOP scales is in my opinion much more precious and rare than any unusual blade.
But it's just my opinion (and I probably shouldn't say it too loud :P )Geezer likes this.
