    Default Guess the size of this Torrey

    Sorry for this crappy photo guys. This is an old J.R. Torrey blade that I just snagged off the bay. I'm hoping its a little bigger than 5/8.

    What size do you think it is? Take a stab fellows!

    I'll let y'all know the exact measurements and post pics when it comes. Thanks.

    I would guess at least 6/8 and possibly larger. That is a very nice find.

    Thanks guys. Sounds right. I've been searching to find pictures of one like it that has been documented.

    Here is the one that I had and it was a 7/8 at the toe and tapered to about 13/16 at the heel if I remember correctly. One thing that I do remember about it was that it was a fantastic shaver even if it was bigger than I like.
