    Welcome to SRP!

    This is what I found on Korn but nothing further on King Tut Razor:

    STRAZORS.com - all about classic razors - Geo. W. Korn Razor Mfg. Co., Little Valley N.Y.

    Hi Nick & welcome aboard. You will find a knowledge of wealth on here but it depends on what you want to do. Are you looking for information on that razor or are you also getting into using a straight razor also?

    George W. Korn, 1883-1925. Born in Germany but immigrated to the US in 1880 & went to work for Alfred Field. (cutlery manufacturer) He formed the George W. Korn Company in Little Valley, NY & made razors for many different firms including W. R. Case & Son, W. R. Case & Sons, Case Brothers, Cattarraugus Company plus Sears & Roebuck & Company.George W. Korn died in 1919 but the company continued to operate by a minority partner who, along with several investors, acquired a controlling interest in it. At that time, this minority controller, E.E. Kelley became president. The firm continued until 1925.

    I hope this is some help to you & good luck.

    EDIT: BTW, show us some pics!

    That's a nice razor. It doesn't have a lot of hone wear & should be a nice shaver when honed & stropped. Looks like a slight frown & a few very small micro chips at the toe but whoever hones it can get that out.
