Adding to my Sheffield collection

A nice little G. Johnson 11/16 about 1/2 hollow I think. I'm not sure if it's a regrind but a nice blade all the same. I've been waiting for a bigger blade to come along but haven't been lucky enough to come across one. Amazing shave for a small blade.
The scales are honey horn and thin at .095 with a lead wedge and steel collars saved from the original scales. Interestingly the pins were steel too. I don't see that very often. The steel collars and pins makes me think its an early blade circa 1835 - 1840.

Nice! Dig the little hammer logo

Very nice restore Karl! I have a couple of these Geo. Johnson small blades and you're right...they are really nice shavers. :tu

I have one of those, but not in that nice of shape and I'm afraid it will never be as some one tried to "restore" it. I have the same steel collars on mine as well. Good to hear it's a shaver and the work you did looks great!

Damn,.....that looks sexy!
Love those scales, nice job. :beer1:

Good looking razor .
