Thread: I want a wapi

I pinched it from an article about a photographer who wished he had a gun instead of his camera while being shot at in India. That's how it was used there.

Just to be clear, I was not impugning the integrity of the seller of the "plastic Wapi." I just wondered what the basis was for calling them Wapis.

For a time, Double Arrows were also being called Wapi IIs, and I questioned that as well.

I've got the case here that contained the razor. It has both the smf logo, as well as the text "WAPIENICA" and it's in brownish plastic. There's also a piece of paper inside, in Polish, that appears to babble a bit about fabrication and checks and what not.

Just to clarify -

a) I do not have a copper bottom.
b) the all-steel Wapis are now gone, though I hope to obtain more in the future from various sources.
c) the 'plastic' Wapi is NOS and they are most definitely Wapienicas - I have some in their original boxes that have the word 'Wapienica' embossed on the lid, despite the fact that the razors inside have variously blank, SFM and SFK on the tang.
d) All come from my seller in Poland.

That provenance is good enough for me!

BTW I think the plastics have a better edge than the SS!
