Thread: Swedish frameback missing spine

I got a nice early JA Hellberg early frameback razor, unfortunately it seems to be missing its spine,

it's in great condition otherwise and it feels very annoying not being able to use it

I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and what you did to "fix" it, I've been hammering and bending, trying to make one of my own, but that doesn't seem to be one of my skills, complete and utter failure, those spines have a certain shape I most certainly am not able to recreate; not to mention getting the right bevel angle due to the spine thickness (Also wondering the spine will need to have the same sort of steel as the rest of the blade etc etc ?)


I am currently passively keeping an eye out for another early frameback razor on the webs, preferably one with a damaged blade where I can take a spine from, but that doesn't seem to be an easy task, patience must to be the key


Just wondering if anyone had another idea or so, I'm not sure what else to do with these blades

Here's a picture regarding the looks of the earlier framebacks with a spine attached
