Less than common blade shapes...

It certainly does look like that Genco Safedge in the wiki, Dylan! The main difference is that this was a bona-fide hollow ground straight and the GS (the model B, anyway) is a type of modified frameback. It would explain that brassy coloured bit on the tip of the spine - maybe it was once longer, or spring-loaded or something?

Regards,
Neil

If there is a spring mechanism, I would guess it would be on the guard itself, but that is just a guess.

That confirms it - certainly the same shape and style. Thanks!

the thick part is mirror finish and the bottom is matte. I think something like 6/8 or 13/16

I was after one like that last week

It went way more than I was bidding but it sure was a beauty

Now a well used one needs to pop up
