    Default any idea on this blade

    I recived this blade free today ... i know it's not a quality blade because i don't recognize the stamp and logo...maybe some china mistery blade..

    Any of you guys seen this brand?..i can't seem to find any info on it.

    I don't know but that crown doesn't make it look China to me. Nor does the shape of the blade. You might have a nice blade there.

    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    Oh yeah..sorry...updated my image posting account and now it seems to post smaller pics...have to look in to the settings.

    The blade seems well ground - thin grind that flexes on the curve of the nail...that's the only reason i didn't trash it yet...

    IOM any proud manufactures stamps not only the logo but some specs of identity and origin...

    i'll try to post a better pic

    Did a little scratch test(minor, don'w worry i didn't ruin any blades)...can't seem to scratct this blade with any shefield/solingen and even the filarmonica all have softer steel, also scrached D2 tool steel at 62 HRC O_o!! so eiter it's not properly tempered or is of a higher hardness...
    I'm rstoring it today just out of curiosity to see how it shaves.
    Posting pics and rewiew afterwards in propper section.
