Nice little auction win. 8/8 Tally Ho Adamantine Edge and a funky 5/8 A.J. Jordan
Got these in the mail yesterday and I'm pretty dang happy. At first glance though I almost shat myself because I thought the Tally Ho was cracked but looking closer, those grooves were obviously put there intentionally for some damn reason. Ideally the blade face would have less scarring bit I still think she's awfully pretty. When I get it restored, I'll have it done as good as can be done without sacrificing the etching. To lose that would be an utter injustice imo. The A.J. Jordan is a peculiar little thing isn't it?

Here are my two Tally Hos together. The Adamantine Edge is a bit wedgeier than the larger one. Now I just need to find a Fenney or two...

I have a Jordan like that!
The original box would proclaim 'Jordan's Anti-Profanity Razor'.
Don't have that, however.
The Tally-Ho is nice!

Nice score! Just a hypothesis, but could those marks on the Tally Ho be from the manufacturing process? I mean, probably not too likely that they'd let one out of the factory that way. The placement of those lines makes me think those might be forge weld lines Originally Posted by notitfortat

Thanks. That's an interesting thought. I was drawing a complete blank on what the heck the might be. Originally Posted by Crawler
