Rodgers & Son "Mystery" Razor - what is it? How do you hone it? Help pls
Anyone ever seen one like this before? This is not a Joseph Rodgers and sons. It is a Sheffield though. But look at the blade, it is hollowed on only one side. Is this a medical instrument or is it a razor? If the latter, how should I hone it? A layer of tape and go at it? I' couldn't find anthing similar in this forum or in the SR database. Appreciate any help I can get on this one.

It is a microtome and I am not sure how to hone it. You can shave with them. They were for making very thin slices of specimens to examine them under a microscope. I have one too. I have typically seen them with stainless scales. I will be interested in hearing the answer of the how to hone question.

I have honed a couple. It is not something I would wish upon a newby, as I was! If you go to Glen's How to hone a Kamisori video, that will help. Flat side mainly and then the bevel only on the hollow side.

It's a Rodgers and Son and it is a heavy grind razor. The groove on the front side is purely decorative. YMMV

I rest my case.

I have a few with the groove ground into both sides from different makers but never one sided. I do have one or two that are Microtome which are ground flat on one side & a hollow grind on the other. That one is just another example of a different version. I've never seen a Joseph Rodgers & Sons in that style. They were for cutting specimens.

I have only one Rodgers straight razor that has G R with a crown but does not say 6 Norfolk Street or Cutlers to Their Majesty or in this case to His Majesty. Could be a different Rodgers? Has different jimps also. Does not have the Rodgers trade mark either. There was a George Rodgers, James Rodgers, C.W. Rodgers, Rodgers Brothers & a William Rodgers. All the rest of mine are Joseph Rodgers & Sons.
