Thread: Geneva Cutlery, Oddity.

Hey guys. I got a Geneva Cutlery, Pyramid brand, with a double S stamp over the pyramid.



I also noticed that the spine is curved in the wrong direction.



I've only seen straight, and smiling razors. So what gives..? A second, that made its way through manufacturing, or has anyone seen others like this one.

Honed up just fine, with a rolling X stroke.

That's an oldie. 'Sterling Steel' from Sheffield recruits.
I think it's my favorite Geneva. Must be. I clothed mine in ivory...

Thanks, Tom.

Mines nowhere near sterling. I'll keep it the faux ivory, it came in. A lot of nice stuff came outta that valley.

Is the spine on yours, curved like this one. I noticed yours is shouldered, also. Different grind, suppose. Blades full of grind marks, on mine.

Man, that's nice. Likely an American version of the Sheffield 'silver steel'.

Here go...A round-pointed one..

Did they back in the day sell seconds?

One of my most used kitchen knifes is a second. Other than the pattern being possibly a little funky on one side being halfprice it was well worth it.

Mike, I am thinking since mine is 13/16 in total width that the double-stabilizer was used on the 6/8 razor and a single one for the 5/8 ones like yours and the round point pictured.
Yes, the top of my spine is curved. Tang angles down a bit different than most of these, I feel.

Anyhoo, clean it up and polish lightly. You will see that were you to polish a typical Geneva to death, it would not make the steel as white as that which is in these. Sure wish that round point was mine!


These remind me of an old advert which was posted in the American Knife thread.
