Thread: W.Greaves & Sons "Cast Steel "

bet you guys thought it was a razor !! I wish , but I grabbed it anyway to go with my W & B knife/fork ...
had some surface rust in some areas , so I thought it would be a good opportunity to play with my buffer and compounds , hit it just enough to clean it up but not as to make it look new , only thing left is to see if I can get an edge on it and put it to work

I missed out on a IXL knife & fork similar to these the other day!
Very cool find!

ya know i watched this go through 2 times with no bids , and i couldnt pass the 3rd time and see it setting in someone's antique store or garage so i had to rescue it and bring it into my home where it will be used ...
i have a W&B set that i bought a couple years ago but i need to have the knife taken somewhere and have it sharpened as it is shot .. this knife has come to almost able to shave arm hair (it may , havnt tried) , just off of the sharpening rod , i used it to cut up some stuff for a salad and it worked great , it may have been not to long ago in use , ive wondered the age as my W&B set is stamped "Sheffield, England" where as this just cast steel !! wondering if the stamps are similar along the lines of the razors ..

I like those,,,,, great find

I wish I could have gotten the IXL's but I missed the auction end. They were very cool.

That is a nice set. Wouldn't have gone round 3 times if I saw it :<0)
Now all you need is a Greaves adze.
