Thread: Too good to be true!?

Boker, TI, Dovo, RA, etc., all have large-run production facilities that crank out a massive number of blades (compared to the American makers listed). And so economy of scale must be a huge factor in determining that price difference.

As for the Grim's claim to have been made in the USA, what *exactly* do they mean by that? Where was the blade forged/ground/etc? Were they forged in the USA or reground from blades made overseas? Where were the scales manufactured? Were those components actually made in the USA or assembled there? I don't have the answers to those questions, but I do know that "Made in X" can in many places be a very slippery definition.

Also, never trust a website that misuses apostrophes to make the plural.

It is a new manufacturer in Idaho. They are working on making a great product and have had some growing pains. How do I know that they are working on making a quality razor?

They have recently hired Tim Zowada to handle QC and tell them what is what in the world of straight razors so they can make a quality razor.

I look forward to seeing how they do in the future.
