Picked up a blade on a popular auction site, and its a bit different than others of a similar brand.
Tang is simply marked "Wostenholm & Sons" with an "SFR inside a hexagon" trademark. No "Geo" or "J" that would signify anything more significant for a distinct maker, either George or Joseph. Also no "Sheffield or England" on the blade, in fact, no country of origin at all....
Blade is about a 7/8, very hollow ground blade with double shoulder. No other distinguishing marks. Ill try to get some pics up soon, but will most likely be in the morning sometime.
Anyone seen one similar?
Ok, I found this on another board, but nothing really significant. Blade is very similar, except mine has a double shoulder. Mark is identical to mine....
