Thread: Unknoun wedge - help identifuyng

Well i bought this old, near wedge on the flea market for 2.50 , and i regrind it .It was in awfull condition - all rusted and chipped on the blade .
I regrind it , unfortunately , some pitings , were too deep , so i seal them with orthophosphoric acid . I eched them
It is a softer steel , but takes madjical edge
My top shaver ever . It has wellow bronze scales , that are coverd with nickel to look metall .
It was 7/8 , but now is more like between 5/8 and 6/8 more a 6/8 . It was wedge or near wedge
I use smaller weel on the grinder , so i gave it a bit of concave.
There is a sighn on the scales Dagger and a cross in the quadrant.
If someone is aware , what is the manifacturer of the blade , please tell me .
It is softer steel , but veeeery good . Real soft steel , but madgical .

I don't know, but I'll hunt for the stamp later today.

Well i did search , but i did not fint anything The cross is a symbol of Shefield manifacturers , but im not shure
Im happy with it anyway

Thats a hard one to find, there is no tang marks? and no way to find out if the scales are original. And it doesnt look like a Sheffield razor.

Intresting that all my Solingen blades are hard steel .I didnt have Shefield razors Not a single , to compare it .
But this one is a soft steel , still very goood .
Intresting .

The dagger and cross is the trademark of Schwert...a well known company for medical razors and edged equipment. I am not sure whether they survived WWII. I can't look it up on my phone but you can.~Richard

Right on the money Geezer,,,,,,& I've been hunting for hours.

So a genuine German army medical razor. At long last!

So I read where RusenBG has concaved it on a wheel in reading the OP.
Could it have been a microtome?

Thanks to "Dresden" who turned me on to them years ago. They were often stainless steel. I love mine. They also were up to 25mm/ 8/8ths where others were 5/8ths or less like the Wapienica's(?)
