Thread: Wacker's

I think no one's come up with a proper translation for Schorkopf yet. Here's an old thread: http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...ts-please.html

Jamie, did you never come across "Damascus" steel that worked worse than regular steel? There have been several reports of pattern welded steal becoming brittle, unfolding, or even breaking in the German forums (no, we're not talking about Asian blades; yes, these people are accomplished honers; yes, it happened across the entire range of razors, from Böker to Wacker and back again).

Robin I would say no they have been quite straight forward and very well behaved on the stones, the vast majority of Damascus razors I have honed over the last few months have mostly been Thiers Issard and a few Buddel and one or two Wackers and one Mastro Livi.
