I just bought this fine-looking feline on eBay yesterday: Le Jaguar No. 721. It is 6/8", I think. A beautiful blade in what looks to be its original box apparently in excellent condition. I'll be interested to see how deep that "tooth" on the blade is. I downloaded the pic and tried enlarging it and lightening and darkening the contrast to see how bad the damage is. My impression is that it looks ok, and *should* hone out fairly easily. Well, here goes and fingers crossed!
Excellent!
Those were made by LeGrelot, so it will undoubtedly be a great shaver!
Once you get rid of that "tooth"...
You can still buy them brand new in Germany at
DICK GmbH - Feine Werkzeuge zur Holzbearbeitung
They sell a 4/8" new Jaguar. I presume because they normally sell TI products that it is out of the TI factory.
Maybe an old Le Grelot blank.
