Manufactured 1850-1890 by John Newton & Co.. Back of blade hollow with Barber notch tip and single shoulder. Blade measures approximately 3 X 6/8. On shank "MANHATTAN CUTLERY CO. SHEFFIELD". Blade cleaned, polished and honed shave ready. Dark horn scales sanded and polished with new brass pivot pin and washers. Looks like a near wedge grind.

Light coat of oil for protection on blade. Please look at photos as they are best description.

Honing: One layer of electrical tape on spine. Bevel set on 600 grit diamond hone. Then 6000 water stone and finished on 20,000 Jasper. Then stropped on canvas with diamond paste and then leather and disinfected. A $18.00 VALUE FREE

I personally test shave each razor before final disinfection. Shave ready is different to each person. Factors like light or coarse beard or beard length come into play. I have a heavy beard and test shave every razor on a two day growth. If razor gives a stination and will be calculated before payment.

Thank you.
