    I wouldn't be interested in 01 tool steel, assuming that's what they will use?

    If however the do like T.I does, then I would be very interested.

    A huge import duty on a modern W&B just seems wrong

    What a long and arduous read this thread has been!

    I think some people are emotionally attached to the history and legacy of the brand. Since its not being manufactured in England, they see it as some sort of insult to the/their heritage. All those comparisons to cars... To them, (and some what to me as well) a Ford, should be made in america, by american workers. A Ford in Japan should still be made in America and shipped over. Many of of us have not come to terms (nor will we) with "global" economy.

    Was it smart to use the W&B name? Sure as hell was! Would it have been easier for others to accept if it were made in England? probably.

    Will I ever buy one? Probably a used one, on ebay, in about 20 years, when I spot it mixed in with a pile of other old junk that somebodies grand kids are tossing out.
    So who do I need to talk to for merchandising rights?
    Maybe a line of Butchers Brew here at the winery?

    The name begs a lot of interest, and I'll surely have an open mind - but ultimately, for me, it will just be a custom razor with a long dead name....

    I think that is a fair enough assessment of the situation. OTH a good custom razor along traditional lines is nothing to sneeze at.

    Jus' a little bit, as sentiments one way or another have be expressed throughout this thread. Duty from SA is a good point and may limit some buyers in other continents/countries.

    Not all Damasteel is Damascus. I for one would not even consider the use of the Damasteel Damascus for a razor, but the Damasteel RWL34 is NOT damascus, and should be a fine choice for a blade if properly heat treated.
