Those SSA Eskilstuna Razors Hone Up Like A Dream..They are Harder Steel than Solingen But they are Very Thinly Ground Much Like C.V Heljestrands...They Take an Awesome Edge from the 1 K Bevel Hone..The Törnblom with the Kinda Smiling Blade Shouldn't be an Issue as Long as there isn't Grinding Issues..Few Blades are Perfect Mind Even from the Factory..View attachment 30315 View attachment 30314 View attachment 30316
Got a soft spot for shiny things so here we go three more to hone:
Herder from Solingen is looking pretty straight forward.
SSA from Eskilstuna has got damage on edge that I hope to fix when honing.
Törnblom from Eskilstuna, not sure about this one as blade is wider at the toe compared to heel. Maybe use a black marker and my normal honing method and check where edge meets stone. Some rust on top of spine but probably going to leave that as is.

Rolling X Stokes are Only Sometimes Needed with Hone Wear Issues..The Spine Always Stays on the Hone..That's What He Means..Some think a Rolling Stroke is Rocking the Blade & Lifting the Spine from Side to Side.."the spine stays on the hone"
Aye..A Lot of Vintage SRs are Set Up Like that..I was under the impression that washers between tang and scales is standard practice but both my Törnblom and SSA vintage razors came without.
They are a Kinda Thrust Washer..They Also Cut Down Wear n Tear on the Scales & Tang..I would imagine washers are a plus making opening and closing scales less vulnerable for dirt or horror, horror, rust.
