Thread: Silver Steel

Puma 222 "Silber" Steel

Saw a similar Dovo in a previous post... here's a slightly different Dovo Ebenholz (Ebony) Prima Silver Steel 5/8"

Lovely. I have a EM Dickinson of Sheffield INVICTA Silver King. Too bad I'm a terrible photographer. I will try to get a decent, in focus shot of it.

with apologies to those who CAN take good photos.

you will have to take my word for the moment that the etching on the blade says "Silver King".

I believe those are ebony scales with an ivory spacer, but I will accept correction.

One that I acquired recently. Not sure of the brand, but I'm pretty sure the etching "Feinster Silber Stahl" translates to "Finest Silver Steel." If anyone can translate the rest of the etching, I would appreciate it.

Looks like Russian. If you don't get an answer soon, open your character map in windows, find the corresponding characters, and use them to copy it into google translate. Should get you where you need to be.

EDIT: Or, you could use this page, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_alphabet

copy and paste the letters here

wash, rinse repeat.

Smoothy,

I have a Dovo just like the one in your photos.

Haven't gotten it professionally honed yet, though. How does it shave?

holli,

Sounds like a great idea to me...
