Toe Line
I have seen this horizontal line on vintage blades that is near the toe of the blade just about even with the top of the scale. So I am guessing that it has something to do with the blade closing off center or some other reason why the blade is contacting the scale. I am wondering if anyone has any insight into what causes it?

Bill, not that I can be a great deal of help but I would think a picture could be useful.

It is from moisture where the scales contact the blade as-closed. Seems a result of long-term storage with razor closed.
I see it from horn scales mostly.

Tom, I think it is in the bylaws that you can't take pictures of your feet and post them."Call me Ishmael"
