Thread: Gottlieb and Hammesfahr

I have been trying to determine approximate age of this blade. It was reground back in the day. Someone got fancy and did a double grind on it, but left the edge almost paper thin. I had to breadboard the thin stuff up to just below the start of the lower grind and got a good bevel. Lost an eighth, but it is still 7/8. G&H started out in 1684. Stayed around a good long while. I have seen many of their stamps, most with a pyramid and "Solingen,Foche" On them.
I have not seen this stamp, though. While worn, I think it is fairly readable. The steel in this is very old. It reminds of old sheffield crucible stuff as working with it.
