Thread: An end and an answer to the Wonderedge debate

I hate to point out the obvious but I don't read Cryo on the Wonderedge we are assuming that ...

The new Dovo #105 claims Frozen temper too....


I believe that maybe we are assigning today's technology to yesterday's razor????????

"Deep freezing at extremely low temperatures." Sounds like cryo to me.

edit: I'm open to suggestions, but I really see no other explanation. Deep freezing at extremely low temperatures is exactly what we call cryo tempering (or whatever the correct name for it is). Drop the temperature of the steel below a certain point. Thats all cryo treatment is. Until a better theory comes around, I am sticking to the freezing theory.

I couldn't agree more. Even though we don't know for sure right now, I doubt the Wonderedge is a SS or else they would label it as one. DD also made a stainless razor and marked it as such if I recall correctly.

Then again, there are knifemakers who think they get better results by just putting their blades in the freezer overnight after heat treat, so who knows.

Some guys like to keep their undies in the freezer overnight too. Gives them a fresh start to the day I guess.

Just a guess you realize, not that I know anyone who actually does this....
