Thanks. I owned a Masonic Stenton 9/8 once.
Problem there was it was a near wedge and it had a stub tail.
Yours actually has a tail. I found mine difficult to handle and impractical, although I loved the size and the looks. A bit like Francesca Dellera in the movie La Carne…
Too much of a good thing. Cheers.

Hmm,
Digging back (internet is not forgiving), it seems the tail was less stubby than I remember…
A post from 2018.

As far as I remember she got sold to a collector in Russia.
Thanks.

It is a rather small tail and a radical taper to it making the scale fit a bit tricky. As you said though, a quite large blade, like shaving with a meat cleaver. Great edge and a fabulous shave though.
