    Here's the newest addition to my rotation and also my first attempt at honing. Well I can't say I honed it from scratch but I did finish it.

    It's a Geneva Cutlery Pyramid 7. 6/8 half-hollow. black plastic scales, white plastic spacer.

    Still on the lookout for one of those classy Genco blades though.

    Waiting for Sue Green of Ontario Knife Co. to address any possible historical connection with Onterio Cutlery Co. and Genco, sent second request yestersay. A loose history in brief of: Shatt-Morgan bought 1932 by Queen Cutlery,in house and contract manufacturers,a sister company of Ontario Knife.Robeson Cutlery bought 1971 by Onterio knife.Robeson, stamped under his name, imported straight razors until the 1897 Dingley tarriff act made importation economically prohibitive.

    Default Geneva Cutlery Co.,Onterio Cutlery Co,

    In a previous post one of the members speculated on the possibility of a business relationship between Geneva Cutlery Co. and Onterio Cutlery Co.
    Speaking with Karen Osburn of the Geneva Historical Society,She consulting the Geneva city directories 1907,1928 and 1971 found no listing for Onterio Cutlery Co,
    Can any members supply a possible explanation for the deepening mystery of the displaced whereabouts of Ontario Cutlery ?

    I'm in on the Genco club - I have four at the moment (all mint) and they shave as good as anything else I have (Fillys, Le Grelots, etc) and I love that they are bit different and much more affordable than many of the desirable razors. I'll post photos later!

    Here's a Geneva Cutlery Company Ontario that arrived a few days ago. Cleaned it up, honed it up, and it delivered a great shave this morning, as all Genco's do!
