If it's got good temper and hones and shaves well that is the important thing. Looks like it may have been made @ that length. If not someone went to alot of trouble for a quarter inch.
Was this one advertised as short. There was one on there last month and I completely forgot to bid on it.
I try to keep an eye out for the short travel style straights which seem to be around 2" of edge proper
maybe at one point someone added standard scales
i have two of thes and the blad is 2 3/4 by 15/16 wide they are the best hollow grounds that i have.the shave is so smooth that i dont mind the short length .:chop:
Hi Ronnie. How 'bout the scales. Are they typical fit or do they seem over- long?
Looks good to me - Do you want me to look after it? :D
That's about everything I'm looking for. Spike point and shorter so I can shave easily down to my beard line between my sideburns and goatee where a standard length blade is too long. Please polish it up a bit 'cause I don't have any skilz :D
