Thread: 23 within a pyramid geneva cutlery geneva ny

I have an ontario cutlery razor and its one of my favorites.. i just recived this geneva cutlery razor and was looking to learn more about it.. no picture due to using a computer and not my phone but.. razor is 5" closed yellow plastic or soligen scales (wood grain design) tang has what looks to be a second pin hole and scales have extra black pin on outside near end.. blade has a pyramid with 23 within.. full hollow square tip

Geneva are an American razor, NY, made till around the 30's then became Genco .. smooth shavers, try a search or look in the database..

Great shavers, I don't know what the 23 is, mine is like a 17, likely some date stamp I suspect

I've searched it. Didn't find anything on their stamps. Found out that 7's are common.

AFAIK, Ontario was made by Geneva. As to the number in the pyramid, I think a date stamp. We have discussed it before, but no conclusion that I recall. Good hard steel!

Yeah, somebody will be around show knows more about it..

Sharptonn is fast!

Naaa. Just bored! There is some cool info in this thread on Geneva beginning on post #148.

I have one of those as well, a 6/8 full-hollow spike point. It took some extensive restoration effort, but still functions very well. A good USA made straight and a long time favourite of mine.

Geneva is a first rate american razor.
