    Default FS: 13/16 George Butler Sheffield RP FH

    Up for sale is a 13/16 made by George Butler & Co, Sheffield England. The front side of the tang, in addition to the makers mark, also says ART, and the reverse says No2. There are jimps on the top and bottom of the tang.

    The blade has an engraving, which reads "KEEN as is this razors edge invisible" Shakespeare Love's Lost Labor. There is also an image of Billy.

    The blade is a round point with a nice smile to her, and has only some light staining which I think is shown accurately in the images. There is also some staining on the spine, which is not shown in the pictures. The scales are quite solid; the blade centers on closing.

    Comes with the box, which I'd say is in quite good condition.

    The blade is shave ready to my standards. I'm asking $60 shipped ConUS via non-CC PayPal.

    Click for large images. Note, the darkness above the word KEEN is a reflection, not a stain.

    I'm not sure about shipping to the UK. Typically, for shipping out of the US, I ask for the listed price + actual shipping. I don't just add the difference because I have to fill out the customs form, and I really hate paperwork.

    Oh, by the way, the blade is not gold, I guess the white balance was just off more than I realized.
