Thread: keen kutter?

I just picked this Keen Kutter up on ebay, was wondering if anyone has
had any experience with them.
Thanks,
Tony

I've got a couple of them. They are perfectly good basic shavers--nothing special but they shave just fine. I like your logo scales--mine don't have that. I have read claims that these are highly sought after collectables, but then again, everything is a valuable collectable according to most ebay sellers. I think your price was about right given recent ebay price inflation. Most importantly, if it does the job for you, you got a deal!

I have that same razor and use it very often it has taken a very sharp edge with little work . I would not call it a great razor but it is a very good start .

You seem to have a pretty decent price on yours

I sure appreciate the input. I wasn't sure if I'd overpaid or not, but I couldn't see letting this one slip by. I grew up listening to my dad talk about Keen Kutter pocket knives etc. I figured if not a great shaver it would be a decent collector.

I have a K10. It was my first razor, and start down the RAD path. I still use my blade. It shaves good but is a little thin for my beard. I thought about selling it but it has sentimental value being my first and all. It will do you good once you get it honed.

I actually just bought the same exact razor on ebay, except with a hardware store marking on it also.

Searched the forums for the brand and found this thread, let me know how yours works out!!

You'll be happy and that's a good price. Wander through some antique stores and if you're lucky you'll find some KK marked wooden boxes and tools. Lots of people collect the KK brand!

Will do. You got a deal on yours, plus the coffin!

haha yeah. I was bidding on this one and a few others all at the same time and let a few other good deals slip by me. I refused to let this one go at that point. This will be my first razor and I think I already have RAD..... ;P
