H & J.W. King New York Straight Razor
Being born and raised here, I've tried to get a NYC-area blade for awhile to no avail. I have a few Brooklyn ones, but never NY till now. H & J. W. King that was from Beekman Street downtown from me. It is clearly Sheffield in origin, but it has no british markings. Interesting profile for a Sheffield blade, does anyone know of a sheffield maker that used this basic profile at all? To quote Simple Jack the condition of the scales makes my eyes rain. At least the lead wedge is still there. This is going to be a real pig to hone as well, I can just tell. Anyone have one of these?
