Wow, restored by Josh! That would've been something, he does some fine work. I tried to contact him recently but got no reply.

When I got my first straight I didn't pay much attention to the maker. Just some Sheffield guy. I got it about 25 years ago. lol. That's a long time! Bought at an antique store, I used it til it went dull, then moved on to DEs. More than a few years later I stumbled on this site and realised I gotta hone them too.
