    Default Lakeland Florida Knife Show Finds

    Had a GREAT time at the knife show and found some really special blades. I left a TON of great razors behind. The knife guys don't seem to know we razor crazies exist!

    You made out like a bandit! I like'em all, but the frame back does it for me.
    I strop my razor with my eyes closed.

    It took several minutes of staring at your amazing treasure trove, before I could type a response. Don't think a single haul like yours has often been reported. Your mint Tennis is going to be an incredible shaver, based on my experiences with two of them. Bartmann's are also near the top of my list of effortless BBS shavers. And your early 1800's finds are excellent, what with the Warranted and the steel toe capped razor which I could not make out the name. You even found some very old American steel. I spotted the Alvord due to the Winstead tang stamp. Congratulations and guess I will have to make the next Tucson gun show and hope for 1/10 your luck!

    The steel toe capped one is a delicious Clark & Hall, The Old English is a Patent Tempered Steel John Barber, a Shinner, VERY Rare Sheffield Cutler, James Johnson, also a scarce Lummus mentioned, a Connecticut Clarke, not mentioned in Doyle's. I'm going back today for more.

    You really hauled it in! The Bartmann, the Goldege, looks like a Green Lizard in there, thoese alone were worth the trip. Are you going to leave any for the rest of us??

    What does an old man like you need all those razors for

    You rock Mike, I don't think I've seen a better one time, one place, haul on SRP ever.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
