I only have one American Knife razor and its a rattler grind with some patina, but original scales are still good. I collect Northfields and there's a connection there with American Knife. What a truly awesome razor he has there.

Yes Tuzi, as soon as I saw it, I knew what it was because I have one like it but not as nice as Mike's.

Boy, nothing gets by you guys....It’s the same blade sir, just getting new pants. I’ll re-use the G-10 somewhere. I was going through an in- destruct-o phase for a while. Now that I’ve mellowed some, I find myself moving towards more natural genteel materials. :rolleyes:

Yep, after I saw the tread Tom posted, I figured it was the same one.

Here's a couple I dug up including the lancet like yours Mike..........

The lancet says something like "The Elastic Edge razor" & the other one says "Diamond Edge" on it. According to Goins' Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings, if it's accurate, the ones from Plymouth Hollow date back to 1849-1875.

Working on the scales for Benz.
So far they've been cut, thinned to near the same thickness as the originals, and glued back together for shaping.

You're right Dave, I didn't catch that until you said it!

Dang...We are pathetic, yet honest.

Holy **** Mike do those scales look beautiful. I wish I could click the "Thank You" box multiple times.
