For Heljestrand fans
For Heljestrand fans like myself a neat capsule history of C.V. Heljestrand here. Picked up the link in an ebay auction.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Hmm, maybe in the same line of thought as this from the date my twins thread:

My impression has been that the model # reflects the width of the blade. Maybe the style as in square point or round. Whatever the numbers signify they sure made a great razor as did all of the Swedes I have encountered.

Any have any idea what the numbering system correlates to? I'm guessing size, but what sizes? #31, #4, #6, u.s.w....

When I've inquired of sellers the width of a MK 33 the response was 13/16ths. I've never owned one to measure myself.
The MK 6 seems to be 6/8ths + but not quite 13/16ths. I'll know more about the MK 6 next week when my most recent purchase arrives.

Thanked: 346Being metric they're not exactly 6/8ths of course, but my Mk32s are all slightly over 6/8 size themselves (about 49-50/64ths). That's interesting that #33's would only be 1/32 larger than that... I may well have seen them and just not recognized them then, thinking they were #32s
