    Yes, it does -- around 8/8 depending on how and where measured. It does shave quite well, as you'd expect.

    Delicious yankee steel... I was out scrounging the antique shops today and found (granted it was a small blade and not knowing the company couldnt justify it on my budget) a "new"(to me) blade manufacturer out of Lynn mass think the name started with an H? oh why didn't I write it down...
