Thread: Henckels 4/8: What's it worth

I found a henckels 4/8 in my 'todo' pile.
It is still in good shape: no rust, no pitting and the scales look reasonably fine. Don't know if they are the original ones. They seem to fit the blade like a glove, but it has no markings. The blade itself is plain, with the twins on the tang, and little hone wear.

I don't generally shave with anything smaller than 11/16, so I am thinking of selling it on the BST, but I have no idea what it is worth.

Any idea about a fair asking price?

Hmmm.....I've picked up some of the smaller (unhoned of course) Henckels off EBoy for between $20 and $30.....they needed cleaned up too but weren't all that bad. Honed and cleaned....$50 or so? Just my guess......

I wouldn't go below $50. I've seen a few Henckels go lately at what I'd consider quite high prices, well over $100. I wish I could be more specific, but I tend to not memorize the selling prices of random razors on ebay They were larger razors of course, but still.

I think I'd say $60-$75, just my opinion of course.

It's worth no less than the lowest price you'd be happy letting it go for!
