Thread: Boker Auctions

So I came across these auctions and I'm wondering which would be worth my while. I love the King Cutter but not sure if I'd be able to get it. I love all of the others but would they be worth it? What would they be worth paying?

Here's my take on these razors:


The King Cutter is beautiful - worth more than the bid shown and sure to go for more than that. Expect somewhere in the $100 range.

The King looks like it might have a bit of a frown (blade narrower in the middle than at the heel and the point). At the price I'd let it go.

The featherweight is pretty, and has a nice straight edge, but there looks to be a lot of rust. It may or may not be usable. Worth the risk at $20.

Number four on your list looks quite nice; straight edge, little corrosion, solid scales. Again, worth more than the bid shown. I'd stay below $50

Number five looks to have a serious frown - I'd pass on it.

There have been a lot of bidding wars on Boker's in good condition lately. If you find one you really want, set your limit and stick with it. There will always be another down the road.
