Voidmonster, thank you very much for this contribution !
I am always amazed by the variety of British blades, some are indeed real things of beauty :)
And the Dittmar (twice I have seen this name today, it's 10:28 AM, never heard of it before)
As I said above, at least the Charles predates that by 5 years, and it's already a removable blade system !Quote:

The infamous Japanese Framebacks... Still have to hone mine, they have a reputation of being scary sharp.
I wondered a lot about their design, and I'd love to confirm some theories about them if there are Japanese members here.
Essentially, my current hypothesis is that, in the same way that the WSK is inspired by the kamisori, these framebacks could be inspired by the "honsanmai" lamination technique

Long shot, here I am talking out of my ass.
Technique-wise I would say that it's still a half rattler, isn't it ?Quote:
