Thread: All time favorite

In my book, this is probably one of the coolest razors ever. It'll bring major bucks. Someday I'll get nuts and snatch one....after hitting the lottery.

Cool scales, but i must say i have never seen a Case razor with a stamp like that! Usually always on the tang stamp is Case Bradford etc.

Hahaha. I dig it. The blade needs TLC but the funky scales would brighten up any rotation.

I have a WR Case Ek-Sel. Fine razors! The logo is confusing. Some say Ek-Seh, Ek-Seb...

Nice one! wasnt aware of the Ek-Sel line very interesting.

They don't come along very often. I don't know the story behind the name. They all seem to have vibrant scales.

Those type of scales are usually referred to as "Christmas tree"
scales in the pocketknife collecting field. Many different makers used that material for pocket knives over the years. I have typically seen those on German made knives, but they were also used on American made knives as well. Do a google search on Fight'n Rooster or Bulldog Brand knives and you will see scale material in a whole myriad of interesting colors and patterns. I often wonder why relativity so few materials made it to the straight razor world.
