    Default Skinny Wosty?

    I am reluctant to post a link to a blade I may bid on, but has anyone ever seen a G Wostenholm that was this skinny?

    It doesn't seem like a blade that has been honed over the years to be this skinny, unless they were taping the spine all the time. I just never have seen an old razor of such dimensions....

    Given the size of the tang and the scales, I bet that's about how big she started life. But with all that rust/pitting, I don't think there is much of a chance of saving her.

    The pics aren't making it easy to determine the condition.
