    See if you can post some nice clear pictures of your razor. Close ups of the tang stamps will help a bunch.

    It says Wilkinson on the tang but I will post a few pics of said razor I suspect it's an older one as it's not stainless steel

    There are a lot of razors, even modern blades that are not stainless.
    It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!
