>New to me Thistle Cut. Co. 5/8 square point
Restoration honing is not 100%, the edge is fine except for the 1/4" at the tip, over honed as is so often the case.

>Kampfe Bros. New Improved Star

Yesterday's wild finds, the SR and the crazy 100 year old soap, were almost identically priced - cheap.
