Is that not what is called a bellied grind? In any case, I look forward to seeing how that one cleans up. You have your work cut out for you on that edge.

Not sure what ya call it but I like it!
Like a wedge but hollowed under the spine
There's plenty of blade there to hone away at it.
I expect it will still finish out north of 6/8
Thanks
Mike

I could be (shudder) wrong ..... but it might be a 'rattler'. Nice old one though, whatever it is called.

That's a great looking blade Mike. I'm loving the unique blades more these days. That one is super cool! Can't wait to see what you do with it.

That is a very cool looking grind. Not many of those around I bet. I am sure the antique razor hounds will have more info in time. This Hawksworth must have had a custom stone to use. Either that or he put a regular grind on it and then took it back to heat the stress more into the lower part of the wedge. Definitely a challenge to try and copy someday.
