    Lots (most all, IMO) of razors have multiple grinds, but the George Korn patent (type) is much different and is quite unique and pronounced!

    Does not look as Newell's is one, however. Perhaps someone sanded it lengthwise above the bevel?

    I've had similar problems honing.. same spot not wanting to take an edge.
    Nice scales on that! What kind of wood is it?

    That is not wood, but thanks, several people liked it so far... Perhaps I should put together a short tutorial on creative use of celluloid, burr bits and drills, spray paint, ebony and cocobolo dust, applied and finished with CA.

    They are temp scales I use for honing/testing razors before I make something more permanent... Like this lil Griffon:

    Yeah, Mike. Bought it with a front-side pic....back side is peppered with tiny pits.
    Stored with some bad cell, I think!

    Looks cool! I dig it a lot!

    Charlie Lewis does something like that with G-10. Told me it is easy to do. Dremel 'flecking'!

    Love to see how you do it!

    Oh man, now I'm gonna have to go search through my collection to see if I have any "double concave" blades... experiencing some SRE (straight razor envy) right now!
    Lol
    Okay really don't think I have any though.
    So this is different than "swaged" right? And some look like bellied hollows that are simply more pronounced.
    There was a beautiful Gilchrist on the Bay a while back but went for too much...

    Srdjan, that is very cool! Great idea, the use of wood dust, spray paint, CA,... etc. That's quite inventive. Good food for thought on possibilities of finishes and textures..

    Definitely make a tutorial.

    Much different than any Sheffield. A few German makers did it on some, for the American market. Some models of Griffon Carbo Magnetic come to mind. It is referred to as a 'bellied hollow' at times.

    I think Steve's Lakeside fills the bill. Rest are way different animals. Look at the patent pic, MikeyT !!

    In retrospect, it looks as someone has evenly applied that blade on a grindstone of a much larger (and grittier) diameter of the one upon which it was originally ground. Might make a shaver. Lots of work to see?


    Butchered?
