    Default New but old blade questions.

    I've had this wade and butcher for a while and I'm just now starting to work on it. I've had it for years but still don't know what year it is. Any information will help. Name:  image.jpg

    A picture of the cutlers mark would be helpful to those in the know.
    It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

    I figure that old razor was made 1860-1880. Get her fixed up, it'll still shave.

    Buddy of mine has one that is an 8/8. Doesn't look like it's been honed but a very few times. He doesn't use it for anything except to aggravate me. He won't sell it or trade it.

    He's a pack rat and thinks it's just too cool to part with.

    Can't blame him, if it was mine, I wouldn't part with it either.
