Frederick Reynolds Quarter Hollow – $75
Posted by holli4pirating on July 15, 2011
7/8, quarter hollow, rounded notched point, dyed blonde horn scales.
This is a big chunk of Sheffield steel. There is staining on both sides of the blade, but no pitting. Plenty of metal to work with if you intend to have her restored.
She is in one of the most beautiful sets of dyed blonde horn that I have seen – they are smooth and the color is vibrant. No delamination or bug bites.
The pivot is rather snug, though the blade won’t stand open on her own. She closes towards the back scale, but does not need to be guided shut, and the edge does not rest on the scale.
This razor is shave ready. And this is one of the hard Reynolds, so she should hold that edge for quite some time.
