Thread: Henckels

I've been trying to find the place that shows different henckel stampings and when they were made. some razors have just one stick man and some 2. and some the 2 are different alson. anyone have the break down or can tell me where to find it. I know it is in the SRP some where but having no luck. Thanks.

Good luck. Seems the numbers started out meaning something and then, Zwillingswerk/Twinworks, had different numbers. Then, it's anyone's guess. 3 different renditions of a #50 are here.
I have several interpretations of a Henckels 66. All are way different! The tang stamps offer clues as to age.
Otherwise, who knows? Seems unknown!

Just picked this up off the bay and checking on when it might have been made.

That is a very old one, back into the 1800's, FME. Happy it was you who got it. I seem to have plenty!
Lovely razor!

Compare it to other #17's you see!

It was in my watch list too. I am having organizational challenges. I am trying to be on a hiatus from buying. I knew it was an early one had no idea it was that early. I have some more recent 17's here http://straightrazorpalace.com/misce...r-curl-up.html If you want any more pictures let me know.

Love the box. where can they be obtained. I now have 4 Henckels not all 17 but Henckels. love the henckels.

I got the Henckel 17 today and it had a little surface rust which cleaned up fairly good. while cleaning the scales I noticed a pattern or design in them. I first thought they were horn. I now believe they are tortoise. I know that there are a few very small bug bites in the edges. after cleaning I didn't hone the razor I coated it in SRD razor oil and let some get on the scales . then wrapped in wax paper and put in a razor coffin. the scales were a little dry so i'm hoping some soaks in. I have done this before with horn and it helped and didn't hurt. I thought about taking a photo and will latter on but now just will wait and see.

That is a really nice Henckels.
