    Default Turned up an odd looking Wostenholm wedge...

    Came across this odd looking monster yesterday at a local swap meet. Big wedge, ground out in the center like they were going for a hollow grind, then changed their mind and went back to a wedge.

    Before 1870s, it was impossible to make hollow ground razors. It's a wedge, and maker tried to do the razor lighter.
    Nice razor.
