This thread has given me a mutated case of RAD... RED (Razor Envy Disorder).

I've recently bought this only for my travel
:
a easy and light 5/8" with simple round point, product in Solingen by Artur Lambrecht of Hamburg (?) but with silversteel of Kayser Ellison & Co. (so engraved in the shank)
(Silversteel of course is my favorite steel
)
