It looks like a microtome to me. Is it ground on both sides or just the side with all but 1 of the pics? I am just curious the pic angle is deceiving me.

Nice blade!
If you get it restored to a mirrir finish you can use it as a shaving mirror! I'd love to shave with that bad boy.

My Wm Greaves & Sons Sheaf Works Sheffield wedge has the same grinding pattern, like it was done on a snagging wheel.
I'd say the G B stands for Great Big. Or maybe Glorious Blade.
I'd love to know if such a blade was made for a specific purpose."These aren't the droids you're looking for." "These aren't the droids we're looking for." "He can go about his business." "You can go about your business."

Bah, i missed this thread..sorry to dig it up.
Here is the info I hunted up along with some additional conversation regarding this "GB" mark that should be a good read. again, all theory no proof, but, a possibility nonetheless - the GB may stand for George Brittain

It seems to me I recall the anchor as meaning a city other than Sheffield? Birmingham? Someone knows! Don't TOUCH it! Nice one

Could be you're thinking of British Hallmarks. Never heard of such a system for razors. Originally Posted by sharptonn
