    I watched that one as well. $1025 is top dollar to pay for a Joseph Rodgers but as someone said you don't see them come up for auction very often. Beautiful razor in need of some nice custom scales. A great addition to someones collection....

    Anyone find the 3 pin scales a little odd for that razor and time frame?

    The very best thing about this is that these cost no more than the regular ones when they were new. They’re rare because most users didn’t want them!

    Haha, that is rich. So the big blades are the Pintos and Pacers of razors.

    I saw it, and dismissed it. Possible weak point/crack
    I cant see putting that kind of money into a possible problem. Just as soon save up big bucks and buy a perfect example.

    Saw that one. Hah! I wish.
    I really hope it gets excellent scales.

    A thought comes to mind... "Sell off several nice razors and it could be yours! Do it. Just do it. The kids could go to Disney World and forget the whole experience in a month.. But this axe will last a lifetime! Do it."

    Ya know....The more I look at it. Looks like a bit of a regrind? Perhaps a bit short? Something is wrong at the notch.
    Scales. A bit long on the blade yet all looks it to me.......I think short...........Tang is 3/4 as long as the blade.........Edge issues at the heel.

    Feel better, Cheetah?
