Oops, yea I missed that whole aspect of this thread. Would they not have been the same blanks? Just not scalloped?

I can't comment on the Friodur but I do have a couple of carbon steel Henckels. Fine shavers for sure, how does the Friodur compare?
I do like the finish on your blade, satin haze...
V. Nice
The older ones feel smoother to my face BUT that is simply MHO the older ones also seems to be more forgiving on the hones, the 3rd Generation require a bit of playing around to get right..
There is another 3.5 Generation out there that you see every now and then that has only a Single man :)
Then you have the 4th Generation that came out recently
They are all Friodurs they all shave well but there are differences
And how does one recognize the first generation or referred to has the older ones?
PS I do not claim to be a Friodur expert either
But there was a time back in 08-10 where it seemed that there was always one on the bench :)
I have had so many cross the bench and the hones that I have formed opinions :D take them with a grain of salt
Many love them, Tom told me he prefers the carbon steel. Your opinion Glen is pretty good in my book since you honed a few of these.
