Thanked: 0Timor Blue Steel 150 question
Greetings SRP! I came across a Timor Razor that says "Blue Steel 150", relatively affordable, too (knifecenter). But I am questioning what exactly Timor (G and F) Blue Steel 150 is. They say it is carbon steel. If that is the case....I am wondering if it is actually Hitachi Blue Steel (#1 or #2....doubtfully Super Blue). I understand what "blueing" is, having done a few guns myself....and this razor does have "blueing" on it....what looks like the tang....maybe spine. The blade hollows are not blued....at least doesn't look like it.
So my question again being.....are they advertising the steel is Hitachi Blue steel (which is a carbon steel non stainless)....or are they advertising the fact that some of the razor has been "blued" for slight....very slight...corrosion protection (why wouldn't they blue the hollow grinds)? It's not like Germany does not have Hitachi steels, white and blue. They certainly do. You can by Hitachi steels from Germany (Dictum).
If anyone can clarify this for me.....I would MUCH appreciate it! Thanks so much.
