From the pictures, it seems like yours has the normal 14 blank, with the curved fat tang and the slight curve in the spine.
I was referring to the edge profile. Most of the 14s seem to have an edge with a slight smile. My Fili has it, and my Koraat has it, but my Frio 14’s edge is almost straight.
access to certain hollow areas on the neck are a little more difficult with this one than with my two other 14s.
What do you mean? Access for cleaning?
Access for shaving. I’ve found that the blade’s heel section does a great job of shaving hollow areas to either side of my Adam’s Apple. A tiny smile at the edge seems to help.
so… you sprung for the Böker 14?
No. It’s a custom razor made by Boris de Riviere (River Razors). It will probably take 5 days to travel to the US from France, then it will probably sit in US Customs for about 3 weeks. With luck, I’ll get it towards the end of November.
