looks like someone reground a wade and butcher wedge into a knife to me. the tang stamp dosent look right though. I have several wades and none of them look like that stamp.
 
I have never seen of heard of a straight razor with a drop point. I think someone made a horrible mistake trying to turn it into a knife.
 
looks like someone messed around with that one. possible it had some damage, or they were looking to make a scalpel out of it. stamp looks wonky, like someone tried to change it, or it was a mis-fire.
 
The stamps look genuine. The shape is like a corn razor, but I don't know if W & B made corn razors or if it a regrind. Many W & B wedges were reground to 1/4 or 1/2 hollow grind in the late 1880s to 20th century.
