Thread: # 14

Nice catch.

@ St8drive: congrats on your catch.

It's a nice one!

Kindest regards, Jazor

Received my NOS no name #14 today. This one is unstamped, safe for a faint Solingen printed on the tang. Looks like a #14, feels like a #14 and shaves like a #14. So I will go ahead and post it here

There is still one available on eBay from the Spanish seller I purchased it from, a good deal considering what it would go for if it had Filarmonica stamped on it.

That "offset" pivot pin interests me quite a bit

The very last "Filarmonica 14's " that Classic Shave sold back in 07-09 the really oddball 7/8 ones had an offset pivot hole..

They were deliberately drilled off center to the bottom, I had never seen that before I started doing rescales on them, can you see in there at all to see if the pivot hole itself is drilled low ????

Indeed, the pivot pin is not center. It is only off center on one side of the scales, so doesn't seem deliberate but more like a poorly done pinning job.

The blade is still center and the scales can sit upright, but one side of the scales is higher than the other at the pivot. I have a early Filarmonica that also has scales that are not flush at the pivot.

@ Badgister: congratulations on your catch! Looks like a keeper.

NOS? What else can you share with us?

Kindest regards, Jazor

Well, I can add that the factory edge on the razor was flawless. I am typically fussy and will do my own fine tuning on my coticule, but this one didn't require more than a good stropping.

@Badgister: nice. How many mm does it measure? Looks like a big blade.

Kindest regards, Jazor

Blade width is 24.79 mm

This one came in for honing

I have seen the Brand before, but this is the first one I have seen stamped 14
