Thread: Erik Anton Berg / Eskilstuna / Sweden

Hi Blade Wielder!

Ehh I know its been two years since you wrote this post, but I bought a Erik Anton Berg razor as well recently and I was wondering if you found any info on it.

I think i'll be posting fotos this weekend.. for show and tell i'm guessing the scales are in ivory or bone of some sort and it has what seems to be a fish printed on one side of the blade... i'm not so sure about its size (if its a 5/8 or other, I have to look up how much that is in centimeters. :P but basiclally it has 1,5cm)


Thanks

I've done some searching around on the internet, but most of what turns up are eBay auctions (he made a lot of old tools, such as chisels) and the odd post at Straight Razor Place.

Does anyone have any additional information about this maker? Definitely some skilled workmanship going on in Eskilstuna. Is anyone aware of the dates they were producing straight razors? I'd like to try and narrow that down. Must've been some time ago, since I can't exactly picture them delivering truck loads of elephant tusks to the place nowadays.
