    Like Science Guy, they’re one of my favorite blade designs and yours has neat features none of the ones I’ve got do have. Very, very cool! And in great shape for 1815ish!

    Interestingly, I have never seen one of these that hasn’t broken it’s scales.

    I have had a number of razors with that little feature but only pics of my Kirkby come readily at the moment, I'll have to go digging again. The Kirkby has a beveled spine which also has the little line ground in, and the Marsden has it on the slightly concave sides of the tang as well. Oddly enough I was in search of a Marsden Magnum Bonum with the convex tang sides like the Kirkby has. This is the first of the Marsden Magnum Bonum's I've seen with this particular tang shape/grind/details. I do love it.

    Like Zak and ScienceGuy I really like Magnum Bonums, and the one I own (the last one) gives me much of a satisfaction.

    This is what I get for moving away from Southern California. I forgot about that set!
