    DAMAST MESSER RASIERMESSER KLINGE HIRSCH (FO-45) bei eBay.de: Outdoor (endet 03.04.10 19:46:10 MESZ)


    Here is my own Mini-Razor Design:



    and here a ebay-razor from the same seller:




    I´m pretty shure, we will see in the next time some other designs, that will us remember on razors, that we saw at Mastro Livi, R. Williams, J. Chandler, L.R. Harner or all the other creative straigth razor makers...

    Looks like they're may be some new Pakistani additions to the "Razors to avoid list"

    The whole country IS on the "razors to avoid list".

    Probably why the eBay listing doesn't mention country of manufacture.

    Missing country of manufacture??
    One might raise an issue with Ebay since country
    of manufacture is a requirement by treaty and
    Ebay is party to a violation of US treaty and law.

    I just spotted a fake razor in a Tucson antique store this afternoon. The blade looked like stainless steel, and had the Shakespeare bust and quote "as keen As is the razor's edge invisible" lightly etched in black-low quality etching and the blade looked brand new and not ground right for a razor. No tang stamps or other markings at all. The scales were thick white plastic and looked cheap. Pakistani, I fear! I have an ivory scaled Thomas Turner with the same bust and quote, but there is absolutely no comparison between the two. Fake!!!

    Check out this thread here on the 'damascus' razors on USA ebay. The guy says he is the maker in Pa. but the scales on one of his look remarkably similar ..... at least to me they do.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
