Tom I have had a couple sheffield that seem to have been honed like a knife especially at the heel is where I have noticed they are really messed up. I always wondered why this was just figured an idgit honed it.
Nothing is fool proof, to a sufficiently talented fool...

You gotta think with the plethora of strop treatments available back then, most just pasted the strop and shaved.
Best as could be done for some?
The bevel got more and more rounded. Spine got some wear as well.
Now here we are trying to find the edge whilst going through real estate.
At least WE have tape!

I have had some Sheffields that were bears to get the heel honed on, and yes long live the tape!

Nice efforts Tom. I noticed on that spike as well, an inordinate amount of effort to bring the edge back all the way along. Was on the green chosera as well. Changed the strong tape, a few times over an hr to finally be happy I could move on. Can see it had stone wear on the spine, but rounded damage from a strop I never really considered. But back in the day, no tape, less options to find stones etc, they did whatever they needed to do to stay sharp..

Thanks, Mike. Originally Posted by MikeB52

Set it on a stone and swipe it a bit.
Look at it! Crazy!
Makes no sense to think otherwise?MikeB52 likes this.
