I recently attended a friend's wedding in Roswell, GA. Over the weekend I had a chance to browse the antique shops and chanced across two interesting finds.

The first is a hollow-ground, square-point 6/8 with some lovely engraving on the blade. Unfortunately the blade is rather loose on its pin and I don't really know how to tighten it up.





The other was a hefty wedge 7/8 square-point, the only identifying marks being the words "Microscopic Section Cutter" and "Germany" stamped on the tang. Perhaps it was intended as a medical instrument?

There's some minor chipping near the point, but I think it can be honed out. I really wish the scales weren't hard rubber, I can't stand that smell when they heat up...sort of taints the whole shaving experience when you get that whiff of burning tire through your TGQ lather!
