Thread: Heljestrand MK32 - Excellent condition

It seems this one is in very nice condition:

C.V. Heljestrand MK #32 Straight Razor (Eskilstuna, Sweden) w/ Box | eBay

Pics are awful,wonder what the scales are made from,me thinks plastic.

yeah those are some pretty terrible pics for an auction lol

Ended at $217? I guess these are ramping up in the hype machine...

Yeah the scales are plastic version for sure - the ivory are shaped differently and don't have the MK stamp.

I thought they've been going for quite a bit of money for a while. I've seen one person sell them relatively often with extremely heavy hone wear and pitting for $300 (they get bid up to that). I consider his photographs extremely misleading but he's been doing that for years.

I guess I hadn't been paying too much attention...i mean they are nice enough, but never struck me as $200 - 300 with pitting and heavy hone wear kind of special...i guess my mileage has varied

Also never used washers when pinning Ivory,sure way to tell a fitup or one that has replacement scales.

This one is pretty nice:
