I found this today for a very good price
Each side of the blade has it's own grind, it's a M V Higgins 6/8, 1/4 hollow

What you have could be a microtome, which is a razor used in laboratories to make thin slices of material to be examined under a microscope.

Is one side a flat grind?
No, both sides are very slightly hollowQuote:

Like a few others I thought it could be a micro-tome, but both sides are hollowed
I have to agree with the above, It is not a microtome so just have at it and hone away! :D
I'll bring it over next time I drop by, it should be polished, scaled and sharp by then!Quote:
