    I expect the ones with stabilizers were probably reground at some point.

    I rest my case.

    The one I got holds a heck of a good edge. Shaves real nice. That is an interesting thought about the ones with the stabilizers being reground. I've wondered myself why the stabilizers seem to have come and gone. I figure with modern blades they are more trouble than they are worth ? More work to grind them with stabilizers I mean.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    They were hollow ground from the gitgo,do not see how they could be re-ground to create that stabilizer

    I've been coming across a lot of regrinds of old near wedge sheffields lately where they were ground to basically full hollow and given a big stabilizer, but those JR seem quite uniform in their stabilizer setup when they have them. Getting back to the temper, there are a lot of dremel happy ppl who probably got greedy because the blade is meatier in grind and overheated it. There are some people who seem to feel the need to polish any blade no matter what it is to the level of a mirror within a deep space telescope..

    You keep mentioning the dremel,are you thinking the stabilizers were modified??

    No no. I am talking about guys who get way too hamfisted with the thing on nice razors and screw them over with overheating the things or catching the edge. I personally think they were original to the razors either way. If Wade and butcher did them both ways, why wouldn't another major maker? Two massive blades, just different grinds.

    Exactly. Those guys knew what they were doing, and designs bend to new tastes over the years.

    Finally in hand. Scales are much much better than I had anticipated. Here are some scale pics that I snapped quickly.
