Thread: Very thin E.A. Berg

Hello,

I recently acquired this Erik Anton Berg. I am looking for some more information about it. The razor is very thin, 2mm, also at the spine and tang. I have never seen anything quite like it. The spine also has strange markings on the side.Too irregular to be ornaments, too regular to be damage of some sort.

I can't imagine it can be honed with such a small spine. Is there a piece of the razor missing? How would I go at trying to restore this one?

Thanks,
Luc

It is a frame back. Yu are missing the top piece. You can make one ou of some copper tubing.

There, fixed.

Or use tape, lots and lots of tape!

There was a thread about making a new back for one of these a while back.

In original, it was something like this:

If you want an original back piece, you can probably find a blade in bad condition really cheep and take the back from it.
