Thread: A NEW SCORE

Folks,
you may not believe it but my wife bought this for me at a flea market for 35 bucks,I know its a Henckels,but what is this blade shape called?
I used my Norton 8000,and a Carborundum pasted canvas strop before using the leather,and I have reached shaving nirvana,It didn't even feel like this was touching my face. I don't say this lightly,as Ive been using a straight for at least 30 years,on and off,but Ive just begun honing my own razor and I have never had a shave like this,no wonder there still in business,my favorite razor at this moment!!! just wonderful. Anyway,does this have a particular name?
Thanks

P.S.
Yes it does have a pyramid on the tang-is that a good thing?

This is my newest acquisition,from my wife!! Thirty five bucks at the flea market in Florida (gotta love gods waiting room,lol)-anyway it shaves like a dream,but its an unknown shape to me, Anyone out there know what is this blade called?
Thanks

Ummm. Could you show a close up of the tang? The logo appears to have a Geneva Pyramid logo.

The style of the blade is a French point with double shoulders. I'm also a fan of the French point but I prefer a shoulderless design like this.




Henckels are a quality blade.

It is an oblique point, also called a French point.

I've seen points like that called French, Irish, or oblique. Nice thumbnotch on the tang too.

I agree with Utopian; that looks like the Geneva pyramid on the tang. I've never seen a Geneva that looked like that.

yes it does have a pyramid on the tang,is that a good thing?

It's not good or bad; it's just not a Henckels. It's a Geneva Cutlery.

Is that a Geneva cutlery? I've heard they're great shavers, but they're usually boring looking, so I've never picked one up. That one is beautiful!

Grizzley, anything like this?



If so, then perhaps. My pyramid is a great shaver. I've not seen one with a thumbnotch though.
