Thread: The Henckels Logo change

I just saw a Henckels razor with logo on it that only has one stick figure man.

Does the "one man" Henckels logo simply indicate that the razor was manufactured after 1969?

Would be interesting to see this razor, if i remember correctly the one man stick figure is the logo used for Henckles International.


As far as being after 1969 seems like the logo was changed to red in that year but still with 2 stick figure like the original.

Hmmm...

I wonder if I might have been looking at a cheap knockoff spelled Henckles?

I can't find it on e-bay anymore...

The logo was stamped on the blade much like the GD logo.
One stick man inside a red circle.

Think. Henckels Zwillingswerk. How much sense, if any, does one person make?

There are a lot more Henckels logos than the few in the example give, however I am yet to see a really comprehensive chart either. I have written and asked Henckels head office and have gotten no real information back. The current people answering inquiries don;t really seem to care or know what is what with all the logos over the years. I suspect there is a lot more to it than the simple chart we see, but have found little in my looking. I have quite a few Henckels and would really like to know more but have nothing beyond the chart shown. Anyone with great resources care to share?

Yes, there is a lot of confusion about Henckels logos and not much solid info. Many years ago I was told that the difference between having a twins logo or a single man logo indicated the first was German made and the later made outside of Germany. Never could confirm that then or now but at the time it seemed to make some sense to me.

I really don't know much about the logos but i do know the ones i have shave good. I believe these i have are pre war and carbon steel. I've yet to try a stainless one maybe one day. It would be nice if the company would do a history of there company and all the logos.

Easy~! Get every number and rate them for yourself!
Don't forget the Twinworks razors.

They seem to have a numbering system of their own!

The ½ after the model number is commonly associated with round points.

I avoid Henckels five digit model numbers; similarly to what I wrote earlier in this thread about my explanation of the lonesome twin, I found that these razors are not on the same level as other Henckels.

As far as Henckels goes, I used to look more for the stainless steel Friodurs.

Towards the end of their straight razor era, Henckels quality appears to have started slipping - possibly due to shrinking demand that made Henckels loose interest - and I once bought a late NOS Henckels in Europe that took mulitple attempts to get it up to a similar standard as my other 20-odd Friodurs.

I have seen them but not very often. I saw this one but I passed on it. I'm glad one of our guys got it.
