Pardon my ignorance, rattler is a term I'm not familiar with. Would you care to elaborate?

Rattler is the type of grind that razor is. Stiff spine with an extra hollow blade, often mistakenly called a faux frameback.

Hmmmm Yes and no, they are still called Faux-Framebacks, and some are also stamped "Rattler" they are sometimes referred to as a Flat grind also, I think there is an even more technical term for the type of grind it is too, but the name escapes me ATM...
