Heartring arrived
My friend dropped this off to me today. Has to be one of the best oboy buys for me yet. I think it has been only honed at the factory. Had to clean the oil off the blade, zero rust and perfect bluing on tang and spine. A very hollow bellied grind. Had a squint at the bevel and think I'll just strop it up before shaving with it tomorrow morning just to see how good they honed them at the factory in the old days. Yup, we are happy so far.

Close, 7/8 with filler. I still can't believe someone didn't BIN it before me.

There's nothing quite like finding something that old that is pretty much NOS.

That thing is so nice, I'd almost consider not using it. But just almost.

Just a quick follow up on the factory edge from the old days. Yup, they did put a fine edge on back then if this blade is a typical example. A regular good stropping on linen and leather gave a fine smooth irritation free 4 pass shave this morning. Sweet.

Agreed RIchard, Bob that is a great looking blade, big, bellied hollow grind (yet to find a good example of one), and a spike point - congrats all the way. Originally Posted by evnpar
