6/8 Josh Mappin & Brothers Queens Cutlery, double thumb notch.

**maddafinga** · 03-01-2013, 10:45 PM

Just got this in from eBay. Very pleased, it's in great condition, all I did was run some diamond polish over it and clean it up with some simple green so far. I'll hit it with the Mother's and hone it tonight. No rust, just a bit of patina, no pitting, I quite like the blade. It feels good to hold with the double thumb notch.

My only real disappointment is the scales. The are faux ivory, off some other razor. They apparently didn't even fit, as part of the wedge has been cut away so that it will close without hitting them. It closes well and is functional, but man would I really love some actual ivory scales on this guy.

The only other mappin and brothers I've seen have been the lancet edge. Which I like a lot, but I'm extremely happy with this square point smiler for my 26 bucks.

It looks like a razor that should have real ivory to me.

Sweet, I am diggin' that double thumb notch bro.

**maddafinga** · 03-01-2013, 10:54 PM

Thanks, it feels really good to hold. And looks pretty cool too!

**robellison01** · 03-01-2013, 10:55 PM

I agree, that blade deserves ivory or honey blonde horn scales. Absolutely beautiful.

I hope to get one w/ the Dbl notch at some point, it looks like ATG on the neck would be a breeze.

very nice !! i like the thought of it in ivory or blonde horn also !!!

**BobH** · 03-01-2013, 11:12 PM

Fine looking blade, always wondered what a double thumb notch would be like to use.

Yeah, honey horn would be really good too probably. Probably rather cheaper too I guess.

I have ivory scales from about the same time period. I do not know if they will fit but pm me your address and I will get them off to you tomorrow. Gratis. If they do not work on that blade keep them for another of your finds.

Wow man, that blows me away!! Just wow! Thanks so much!
