Thread: Titan

I personally wouldn't bother, they seem expensive when you can get a GD for a hell of a lot cheaper. There has been a few threads with members that have used them and they don't get much love.

It sort of looks like a buck 110. Well, the scales anyway!

LOL yeah it does, doesn't it? The model I prefer does not have brass bolsters, and the scales, though wood, are thinner and lighter. Unless they have changed it. But that's what I mean by pocketknife type scales. Oh and there is probably a metal liner, too! I guess they think uneducated buyers want to be able to gut a deer and crack pelvises with their razor or sumpn. All of the cheapo brands and the RSO makers are going to this style. Apparently it sells well to the unknowing.

I have honed quite a few of them since their appearance under many names

Everytime I get a request I tell the owner the same thing, I can get them shave ready, I can't say how long that edge will last

Just too many better buys out there

Yep. Stick with Vintage or Custom. Dont waist your money. Although they do make great letter openers.

Be vigilant as perusing customs.
While they may look 'cool', some have inconsistencies in temper from razor to razor and even from the heel to the toe.
I can recommend learning/shaving with vintage first.
What some call great, some (being honest) will say 'meh'.
