How to identify it

• Sides machined square to the sole.
• The 077 has a fixed mouth; the 076 and 311 are related tools with different arrangements.

Buying and using

Small enough to lose and cheap enough to buy on impulse. Check the nose piece is present, since that is the part that goes missing.

The same size from other makers

These do the same job at the same size. Parts do not interchange between makers, but the shaving does not know the difference - and where one maker commands a collector premium, another usually does not.

Every size, every maker

Other makers' answer to the same problem

These share a design lineage rather than a size. Each is its own tool with its own dimensions, and no parts interchange.
