Thanks!  These older knives really perform when you dial them in.  Presuming it is pre 1906 when CS Osborne moved from Newark to Harrison, it would be 115 years old at least.  Rings like a bell when tapped, cuts really nice.  I have several of these that I have been working over, and selling off one at a time - I can only use so many myself!  Do wish I could keep them all tho, this one is pretty nice.

Quick question for you, when you have them for sale do you advertise them here on leatherworker? I ask because I would definitely be interested in buying one from you.

Sometimes.   Usually, I get to work on one when someone is looking for one.  Usually takes several days to get one dialed in like this.

lovely stuff, I've never managed to get my knife quite like that no matter how long I hone it-  Any top secret tricks involved or just patience and steady hands? great work!

Thank you and yes, a lot of patience and steady hands - along with a lot of practice.  I am sure there are others that do it faster, but I do mine on a 1200 grit diamond plate, followed up with Japanese water stones at up to 4000 grit, then stropping for the final polish.  Depending on the condition of the blade, it can take me up to 4 or 5 hours to get a good edge that I am happy with.
