For the new guys.....generally speaking if a new razor is made by a reputable company of quality steel then the shank/tang of the blade ( not the scales) will be either stamped or etched with the company name at a minimum. Etching on the face of the blade or scales and not the shank is used by cheapo razors on Ebay.
The second link showed several razors on page 1 & 2 and most of them have stamping/etching on the shank/tang of the blade.
This has been the one distinct marking we have been able to rely upon up until recently.
It would be a real shame if the good mfg stopped this practice.
BTW, IMHO that's an awfully high price for that King Cutter with no jimps or thumb notch. Also, the verbiage is a bunch of BS. Silver in steel? Spanish point is difficult to grind? What a bunch of baloney.
Buy an entry level Dovo, the quality is just as good then take your Dremel on a slow speed and grind in the Spanish point, just use plenty of water to keep the steel cool.
