Boker made from a file.

This one made me chuckle when he stated he just noticed that it was made from an old file.

+1, I don't think the seller was trying to misrepresent the razor. Just doesn't know any better. :shrug:

How many times do you guys feel like you should make a comment/question to correct the false "facts" that a seller says?

that's just scary!!!!!!!

I'll shoot him a comment explaining. funny though.

I've sent a few messages to sellers who have been slightly confused & they've always sent me a nice appreciative message back. If you don't become obsessive over the things you can't be expected to know i guess!

ROFL that is freaking hilarious poor guy just didn't know any better

The lady who sold me my Genco Master Barber thanked me for my suggestions and the pointer to urleebird's ebay guide. She said she would include an "old shaving mug" with the razor for helping her out. When it came, the "mug" turned out to be a 19th century style scuttle! I'd been looking to buy one for a while.

Sometimes good deeds are rewarded.

he replied back, embarassed, said he just didn't know. it happens. :shrug: lots of things out there I know nothing about.

The humorist Will Rogers once said,"We are all of us ignorant, just on different subjects".

Thats all you need is an old file.Man!,Im getting out both my files and starting production on my own line of razors right now!:hmmm: Move aside Lynn,here I come.:D

That's all Spazola needs!

I knew a guy who claimed that he made knives from files. He told me that he annealed them by covering them with lime and then ground and heat treated them. Randydance has made a couple of razors from files recently as well as from tool steel. Here is a post and the first pic shows one made from a file.

Forging knife blades from files is quite common. Decent steel for knifemaking.

I did the same thing, it was absolutey crude and somewhat laughable, but it worked, until my dumbass cousin got it stuck into a stump and broke it trying to get it out.

Same here. We also made some crooked knives for carving wood.

I just purchased a pair of old razors from ebay, a Wade and Butcher and a Grand 20. Anyway, the seller refered to the barbers notch as 'a little chip on the front of the blade edge'
At least I hope thats what he was refering to.

Now that was funny! Everyone knows the razors were not made FROM files but made LIKE a file on the back to finish your nails after shaving. <g>

So boker's really aren't made from files???

I've been using the back of my bokers on my toe nails! Why didn't anyone tell me??? :roflmao
