    Pretty neat scales, I like it a lot.

    Great work, love those scales that blade and super tang bluing.

    I too collect the hollow square point Robesons they are shavers. The hammered tangs are some of my favorites.

    If you want to know the Robeson story, check out Charlie Noyes website.

    Charlie has been gathering up Robeson stuff for thirty years and has some REALLY nice examples of knives and razors.

    Terrier Cutlery was a Robeson brand too.

    Charlie hosts his own page and it loads a bit slow but it's worth the wait.

    I've never seen that particular grind before, nor those scales. Great job on both. Looks like a lot of work. I have one of the fit your face Robesons and it is for "shure" one of my best shavers.

    Thanks, Ted. I have not seen this grind before either, but I think it predates the scales. Most blades I have seen were the 'fit's your face' hammered tang ones. I actually was looking for one of those as I spotted this one!

    I rest my case.

    Great work. I must have zoomed in 50 times to get a closer look. Really good looking razor.

    Very cool razor
    I especially like the pointing fingers showing you where the double concave is.

    Like you needed help in finding that.

    Nice job Tom

    Great job!

    I've only got one razor with that grind -- a Cattaraugus, also with a mid-blade etch (mostly faded, for a hardware store).
