I absolutely love those double concave grinds and that one looks like a beauty.:)
that turned out freakin' awesome!
Great job
Tom,
That's a beauty, nice job!! How did it shave? Love those scales too!!
Regards,
Howard
Splendid job Tom, she looks great :tu
I really like the muted tones on the scales Tom. Its real pleasing to the eye. Usually with those blown out yellow scales you never really can see all the sudtle detail in the patterns of the scales. But with the darker shades and the highlights where you rubbed a bit on the high spots really brings out the richness of the shapes.
Very Cool.

How neat! I also have a double concave Cattaraugus razor with celluloid handles and tang. The spine on mine reads "Pat. Feb. 18, 1902". Very unique razors. I just honed it, stropped it, and ready to use it tonight! Attachment 169103Attachment 169104Attachment 169105Attachment 169106
I like everything about that blade...beautiful, and that's a first for seeing a double grind....interesting.
Fantastic! Both razors in this thread are fine examples and keepers for sure.
[QUOTE=sharptonn;1036597] A patent date on back of the tang reads Oct. 18 1902. (George Korn Patent?)
A George Korn Patent on a Cattaraugus razor how can that be?

Actually George Korn and J.B.F. Champlin(Cattaraugus founder) were good friends and business partners, and actually factory neighbours. After the tariff, Korn business of importing cutlery was not so hot so he formed the George Korn Razor Company, right next door to Cattaraugus Cutlery!

Interesting, Martin! I DID pose that as a question, which you have answered! I have often thought George made razors with many other names on them, including Case.
