    Default dubl duck experts ... is this a rescaled Satinedge ?

    This Satinedge is listed as mint and the blade appears to be. OTOH, as a rule the Satinedges I've seen come with the clear celluloid scales. Some with the fancy brass script/2 duck inlay on the lower end and others with the embossed 'Satinedge' without the brass on the end but clear celluloid in any case.

    He is asking a healthy price. Not unreasonable if the scales are original to the blade IMO considering the price of a new higher end TI, Dovo, or Hart.

    I emailed the seller and told him that the scales are not original to the blade. He replied that if they are not that he got hornswageled. I may be wrong... though I think I'm right. What do the dubl duck experts say ?

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    They don't look like any DD scales I have ever seen.

    Rescale IMO too, and that is also crazy expensive, even if it was mint in the original scales.

    Doesn't look original IMO, and way, way, way, overpriced for a Satinedge.....

    I think the seller is full of it. $340 for a honed satinedge with odd scales that are more than likely a replacement seems a bit crazy to me.
    Unless the seller has a video of breaking the seal of the box and out there comes the razor with these scales there is no way he can convince me those are the original scales.

    I've got a satinedge that's not only very large compared to my other but with different scales

    Interesting. What is written on the decorative ends on the yellow scales ?

    Nothing written, just decoration.
