    I know Hugo Herkenrath http://www.hugo-herkenrath.de/en/raz...e=rasiermesser are still forging blanks but I don’t know if the Boker #14 are Herkenrath or thay are forging their own.

    Nice Boker, new or old stock all well.

    Herkenrath is a respected forger / pre producer.

    Of course they are based in Solingen.

    Might be one of the last remaining over there...

    Greetings Jazor

    Thanks for sharing that Böker Mark.
    Fueled my RAD again...
    Pity they didn’t go for good quality buffalo horn scales for such a razor.
    Tempting though.

    A Eugenio Hoppe. Aevos #14. The Frog King

    Always forget who he was, in the family tree of Hoppe.

    In typical German efficiency I got an email back already stating Boker produce all their own razors including the Damascus range.
