H. & J. W. King in bone

Hezekiah King was New York hardware and cutlery merchant and in 1869 he was listed at 92 Beekman St. which helps date this razor. A 13/16 near wedge blade that has all the lines of a Wade & Butcher. The blade is restored in a glazed finish as it was originally. The bone scales are nice and thin at .085 with a black horn wedge and brass pins and collars.

Beautiful work as always, Karl-I can't even tell that's the same blade. You are a master!

Nice job. I like bone as a scale material a lot.

Nice choices on this one, Karl. It's a beauty!

SWEET work

Very nice work.
Thank you for saving her.

Once again a stellar piece of work Karl!

Beautiful work....

Being from nyc, I come across his blades from time to time but they are always a disaster. Nice one

Mine says 51 Beekman Street. Does anyone know when he moved there?

Me too! It is much more durable than ivory and has the same "natural" and smooth look and appeal IMO.

Hezekiah King is list in the New York City directory beginning in 1857 at 86 John St. In 1865 the listing was H. & J. W. King "importers of English hardware, cutlery and guns" at 51 Beekman St. By 1869 they had moved to 92 Beekman St. In 1876 they also had an office at 80 Chambers St.

Thank you! Mine is older than I thought.

Whoa another stunner, great work Karl. As always super tight and clean I love the bone scales and glaze finish. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent restoration !!!
