Greetings. A cache of unused hand forged Sheffield made straight razors pre 1890 has been uncovered in Sheffield. I have a number of them and will post photos tomorrow with a bit of luck.

The thing is with my mother coming up to 103 that's 43 years beyond her retirement age so it's a long time to sit around. That's why I keep working and am interested in new things rather than mundane production. 

Whilst it would not be much use to me in the UK it would be a nice idea to have a database of skills on here. We are running out of them in the UK where protracted moaning is the national pastime.

What is on Uncle Cecils label is only a brief snapshot of a family who were somewhat eccentric. I think it's been passed on to my children and my children's children. The sgian dubhs with the Lee Enfield walnut butt wood is in production.

You don't seem to see many boils anymore or at least I haven't come across one since I was young . My father , I seem to remember , had boils on his neck and had to have them lanced by the company nurse . I guess that is from working in a collar and tie when you are a carpenter , or a chippy as people use to say .

Malcolm,

I am impressed that he made travellers packs also LOL.  Seriously that would be a fine label for an "Uncle Cecil's doctors knife"!!

The label is great. I would like to see the Sqian Dubhs with old wood grips, great plan.

My wife really complains about this but you can never let a lot of 15th century oak planks go begging. We are turning some of them into the grips for Sgian Dubhs but if anybody has any ideas about what they would like to see them utilised in just let me know.

In celebration of my mothers forthcoming 103 birthday we have recreated my Uncle Cecil's trade card on a mug - one of his ill fated business venures.
