Look at the clues, esp in the before pics. Tang-to-blade transition on the front side is set back and light. This was the flat side.
Now look carefully at the back side. Tang to blade transition is deeper and right up to and on the blade and a bit of stabilizer there.
That was the concave side. I have seen several (all quite large) over the years and yet not a single Spencer 'razor'.
(Spencer still makes microtomes)
Not trying to steal any thunder here, Karl. Just thought you might want to know what is is/was.
As I said, it looks great.
