If you know what this is, you are old. Part 12.
Maybe you know what it is, but have you used one? I set out to figure out why the “inside” part of the blade is the shape it is. It is interesting to note that the original patent (US patent number 775134 issued November 15, 1904) doesn’t show anything other than the hole in the… Continue reading If you know what this is, you are old.
