I have seen straight razors from several different companies classified as Inox.
e.g.;Friodur Inox 472, Dovo Inox, etc.
What specifications/characteristics are prerequisite for a razor to be classified as an "Inox"?

Inox it around in my brain and decided to buy it :<0)
Actually it means no stain. The search box up in the right can be your friend for quick answers. I found this there ---> http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...they-mean.html
For our purposes: stainless steel
Oh... sorta' like "inoxidizable".
Inox is short for the French "acier inoxydable" which in the US we call stainless steel.
Around the world (outside of the US) if you say inox steel people know what you are talking about. If you say stainless steel they give you a funny look.
Oh, and the german word is edenstahl, but I did meet one german who didn't know what edenstahl was until I said inox. I'm not sure if that is true for all germans or if that one just didn't know metal.
That's because there is no such thing as stainless steel. it's just a contrived term created by some marketeers some time ago and it has stuck. I'm no metallurgist but there is a series of steel running from nickel steel to chrome-steel and Inox is somewhere in there with some trace elements added depending on what qualities you want in the stuff.Quote:

It comes in 4 forms: Austentic, Ferritic, Martensitic, and Duplex which is a combo of austentic and ferritic.
If it is for a razor you want martensitic inox.
You just had to bring up the EU thing :rofl2:Quote:
