Thread: Any info about these Eskilstuna razors?

Hi!
I have bought some razor in very nice condition and cheap. C.V Heljestrand and Eriksson & Björklund.
I have search the web with no luck cos i think this knives is not original craftship by Eskilstuna factory.

Have anyone info about these razors im just curios? Who is making these cos cant believe this is original manufacture.

Eskilstuna is a Swedish town known for its many small and big cutlery factories, C.V Heljestrand and Eriksson & Björklund are just a few of them.
Do a search för C.V Heljestrand or CVH here and you will find lots of info.
Eriksson & Björklund is one of the smaller ones, never heard of them before but they all usually are very well made and made with excellent steel.

Here some information on Heljestrand: http://straightrazorpalace.com/srpwi...jestrand,_C._V.

As far as your Eriksson & Björklund i heard before that this company was founded by former Heljestrand employes hence the very familiar look.

Yes thanks i know about Heljestrand but want some confirmation that this is copy print and not original. Eskilstuna razors in good condition is very old and expensive. Im suspicious and think this is copies.

EDIT* By the way if i look very close at the Björklund blade in right angel i can se there stand "Extra EB Special"

If you check local (Swedish) and Scandinavian web auctions and 2nd hand sales, Finnish and Eskilstuna/Swedish razors are not so rare nor expensive at all. You can pick a decent piece with 5 or 10€. Of course in eBay etc they sometimes cost idiotic sums.
But you have an excellent change as a Swede to ask from the cutleries or cutlery museums in Eskilstuna. I guess they could give you the best answer.
