Thread: Horizontal stabilizer? Secondary spine?

This interesting razor just got sold. Thomas W. Ward & Co.

Any info about this grind? Might be challenging to hone.

That’s certainly uncommon. I’ll be wanting to hear from others on this.

Broke the blade on the grinder, MIG welded it back together, ground the weld partway down???

I've not seen that grind before...wow! It is a variation of the Rattler type grind and a kin of the fullered blade offered by a few manufacturers.It was most likely ground with a two wheel grinder with shaped narrow wheels.

I was going to say a regrind of a fuller wedge. It’s an odd one for sure.

I have seen that grind somewhere on this forum before but for the life of me can't remember where or what it is called. If it was a regrind of a fuller wedge, would the engraving/etching still be on the concave upper part? Early version of a bellied hollow? Also it looks to have heavy hone wear on the spine and longitudinal stiffener. Interesting indeed.
