The only one I have like it has another tang stamp. The tapered shape of the spine is not a common one for that type of razo. Makes honing a real pleasure.

Some nice finds. I am still looking to snag a frameback with a replaceable blade like that.

That is a great bunch to look forward to working on. Please keep us in the loop as you bring them back.

Those are some great additions to the "to do" list.
Congratulations and enjoy!

That's a nice one Rez, That company is very old but yours is not 1930-50 but that's not to take anything from it coze you will really like that one.

Thanks Martin. My guess was a little older, but not a lot, 1920ish was my guess. I once had a frameback by the same maker. This one will become one of the long term residents.
