Thread: Habeeb & Joseph, Sheffield

Anybody know anything about this manufacturer? I used the search and only come up with two mentions and no real info.

Anyway, got this on ebay cheap. I grabbed it because I liked the shoulderless look of it. That and it had no rust at all. Also, no other bidders.

Scales are bone, badly discolored, but not as bad as an hour ago as I've been working on them with simple green and pressurized steam. Outside of the chip and the funky color, they're solid and it closest centered, if a bit loose.


It's obviously been chipped at the point and smoothed out at some point, I'd guess with a stone, because the shape isn't smooth and uniform like it will be after I change the grind here in a minute.

I do think the point is interesting in the way that it's been ground though. I'm going to keep that shape and just refine it a bit.
