History of Edwin (family pass down)
Hello All!
An age old question from us 1st time owners, "What is this blades history/ Where the heck did this thing come from?" other than some family member.
I've been searching around for details but have turned up nill (most likely because I've not been good at navigating this site...though love to read!)
So the Details:
Blade:
- Marks between blade and pivot "James Edwin Damascus Steel Sheffield"
- 5/8" wide
- 1/4 Hollow
- French/Irish point
- Single Shoulder
- Lengthy Tail (1" from pivot center)
- Slightly Hollow Spine
- Honed Out Toe
- 3" Length (Shoulder to Point)
Scale:
- Yellow with faint thin stripes (very narrow stripes)
- Appears to be plastic in nature
- Black Spacers between Scales
Box (I severely doubt this is the same one it came in):
- "M. E. Waite Utica, N. Y."
- Price $3.00
I'll post pictures in time, but thats all for now. No I'm not a 'price seeker' or anything like that, I'm just a guy who likes to put old tools back into use (my primary employment is metal working, though my second passion is the restoration and reinstatment of old tools in mine/others daily life. Sharpening 100+ teeth on a 7' two man saw isn't quite as fine or delicate work as one straight razor ;)) Thank you all for entertaining this novice's inquiry!
