    Yep Neil, I agree. Out of all my references I have 2 books by Jim Sargent called Knives & Razors, 2 different editions & they are my least go to books for information. I rely on my Tweedales & my Goins Encyclopedia first, The Razor Anthology, Straight Razor Collecting, by Robert A. Doyle & 3 editions of the Standard Guide To Straight Razors by Roy Ritchie & Ron Stewart. I could use more but one day I will get some others. I also have info printed out by Henry T. Lummus.

    As interesting as would be to know the original maker's intention, I just think they look cool.
    Any theories I had about its' origin would be a would no more than a guess.

    If I get a chance to talk to Jim Sargent again, I'll may ask him about his info on the barber's notch. I'm not sure how much of a SR aficionado he is, but if you are interested in W.R. CASE or other antique pocket knives he is EXTREMELY knowledgeable.

    They made 'em that way to give future generations hours of entertaining speculation about the real purpose.
