I just won this one on ebay.

I wanted to experiment with blade restoration -> cleaning up rust etc. And this one sure was cheap enough.
I hope it cleans up enough to be a nice little shaver.

What drew my attention was that it is a Joseph Rodgers, and it has a masonic engraving on the shank.
I was thinking of rescaling it eventually. Are there any materials that have a historical connection to the masons (except for stone of course)?

Actually, I had thought of posting this in the auction forum, but since the auction has ended and I have a materials question, I figured I'd post it here.
