Thread: Geo Wostenholm Doubly Carbonized IXL Razor Damascus

The Damascus etching does look different, I've had people say on other forums that it may be faux Damascus, what do you guys think?

I think it's probably just a marketing stamp/etch, like the "Chinese" razors, and many more with stamps such as, "Silver Steel", "Fine India Steel" and various others....nice razor, and you don't see to many with that particular etching.

Yes, I would think the blade is faux Damascus done by etching.
