    Default Cattaraugus Full Hollow Bellied

    Snagged this one for a song and a dance and thought I would share. Looks to be in great condition and shouldn't need much work. Excited to try out this grind!

    There is a thread on here i will find for you about that very special grind on that razor...

    George Korn aka Case Brothers fame which Cattaraugus was part of had a patent for it..


    Here: you will see where Oz found the patent linked in there

    #1 -- if it says Cattaraugus, it's a great razor.

    #2 -- That grind makes for a stiff, stable razor that holds an edge like mad. I've had several go through my hands; they hone easily and shave beautifully. Enjoy your cool find!

    Besides being a nice looking razor, sounds like it is a good quality one with an interesting history. Nice score!
    Stimpy said it has a stiff/stable blade. If it is as thin as it looks, that is an impressive feat on the part of the maker.
