Interesting design, it would seem to me that it would make a very stiff blade with very little flex, like a wedge.

That is an intriguing blade. Please post an update when you are finished. I will be interested to hear what kind of a shaver it is. If anybody can make it sharp I am sure it is you. :)

very beautiful. strange design though. you would have to see how it shaves before you could completely judge it.

I've got one with a similar shape. I assume that the other side is not the same, but instead is "normal?"

I have a few from that maker, albeit not as unique! I hope you come up with some complementary scales. (as if you won't!) It is nice!. I wonder if they were really made in America or from England for America? When?
You have the makings of a great one!:tu

I couldn't make out the maker's name. What is it ? That looks like it will be like honing a 4/8. It is indeed in interesting blade. It will be interesting to see how it shaves once you hone it up Sham.

Huh. Well, in that case I definitely like yours better. Mine is like yours on the front and is a normal grind on the back.

It is from The American Knife Co. Plymouth Hollow, Conn. Mine is a big Faux Frameback. Since they scream Sheffield, I wonder?

I have a big French point blade by the same maker that I have to restore. They shave pretty good.

That is truly unique and I would offer to make some scales but I fear that I would be tempted to mail back money rather than a razor. I like the really unique ones and this one is hard to beat.
