Thread: Terry's no.3 identification help please

Hi all. Just picked I his up for 18 of my finest English from an antiques store to practice honing. Just about passed HHT after stropping, so shaved with it, and though it wasn't the best shave ever, it was close. If I can increase my honing skills it will be the best I've had I think. Love using it due to the weight.
For those that can't see, it says 'Terry no. 3' on the tang as well as 'Sheffield'

Anyone know the history?

Also, anyone got honing tips, put it straight on my new Toishi Ohishi 3k/8k stone, then stropped. Do people usually go higher than 8k?

Help with either appreciated.

Ta.

The Trench

P.S The blade is slightly over 15/16ths. I think it's quite I find but I'm inexperienced. Any opinions?
