Yet anoher Joseph Rodgers
It's probably safe to say JR is my favorite make of Sheffield blade. Bout this one from europe peppered all over with rust and ultra shallow pitting. Finally had time today after staring at it on the desk fr two weeks. It was so easy to sort out for a change, clean it up to 1k, polish, peen the lead wedge so it stopped spinning, adjust pivot tension. It is ready for stones now. Just need to find time for that. A beautifully ground sheffield blade, not warped. One interesting thing is that I think I pretty much have this blade already in J. Drew form. The only difference is tang length, but they are absolutely from the same source.
