Thanked: 375Wiccan, it's a witches razor I see a kettle for cooking up small children....
Never seen one like that very cool, it would be interesting to find out what the markings mean and what they're associated withCHRIS

Thanked: 1Thanks for all the input. After looking at all the other Masonic stuff out there it does just seem different. Does anyone know if restoring this razor would destroy the etching? And I'm curious to know hoe the etching was done. Is it acid etched? It seems like the effect could be replicated with sandblasting but idk if they had that back then

Thanked: 6You guys are funny, that's not a trowel it's a razor. How can a mason use a razor to lay mortar?
I'll see myself out now.
As far as the etching goes and if it would be destroyed by restoring, that would depend on how you would want to restore it. If you used sandpaper it will probably take some of the etching away since you are taking metal off the blade with the paper. it would be possible to use a light touch and preserve it, just time consuming. If you wanted to just use a good metal polish it won't take the etching away but if there is some more serious corrosion it won't take it all away. Personally, I'd go with metal polish and leave it after that. It's an old blade with imperfections, which in turn makes it perfect.

Thanked: 129I think you'll find that those symbols are a very ancient form of magic once the razor is sharp it will never need stropping or honing!
