Thread: 2Bismarck All the Bells & Whistles

Here's a Bismarck that still has all the gold wash as well as the spine work and original decorative scales. It's officially 6/8 but closer to 13/16 (increases from 0.78 the heel to 0.81 in. at the toe).

Picked this up about 7 years ago and it's never been used or honed by me. Call me chicken, but this is one of very few blades I have that just look too darned good to allow to touch a hone. The gold wash was my main concern, primarily, how many times can I use it before the wash starts to go away. Though, if I knew for sure a 2 mile wide asteroid was going to hit, this would be the first blade I'd hone up and use at least once. But since there's no NASA reports of imminent doom, I'll let this one go unused. If you desire, go ahead and hone it (if it even needs it) and let me know how it shaves please.

Asking $157 shipped/insured/tracked to the US via PayPal. That's a bit below what one like this sold for on eBay (including shipping) a few months ago. PM me if you're in Canada so we can figure out if there are any extra shipping costs needed. Sorry I don't normally ship outside North America anymore. That's due to having one too many blades disappear inside other countries' postal service. That said (and after taking a few hits for not wanting to ship to Europe a few weeks ago) if you're elsewhere and willing to take the risk, PM me and we'll talk - maybe something can be arranged.

PM me to get you the PayPal address to use to lock it in for yourself.

ohhh yeah!! this is a sweet razor with sweet scales.. i have the one with red scales.. love the darn razor!!! if it wasnt cause i also have the newer version with ebony scales.... i would just jump at it!!!
