    Yea, I havent a clue how they would have ground it, It sure is cool though. i am really pleased to get the old fella shaving again. It was a bit of a bear to hone with the smile and fairly heavy grind. It will be a keeper for sure

    Very nice save on that one. I would not have passed it by myself either.

    Nice blade! Really cool looking. Great restoration!

    I have a little 4/8 sort of like that that was generously given to me by a fellow member.

    Called a "fuller" and was present on many razors through the early 20th century. I have seen Torrey and W&B with that grind.
    Thanks to Bill here is the patent

    Similar to the American designation "double hollow" as patented by George Korn -- but not until 1895. Assuming that it lays on the hone right, that should be terrific shaver, shave with it in good health.

    Thought I would post this here Mike, hope you don't mind. Just acquired this American Simmons in a lot of razors. Has the same grind "blood groove" as yours. It's a 5/8 No.8 Special.

    I think the OP has a razor grind similar to this one:
