    Default Wapi: Stamped vs. Not Stamped

    Occasionally I see ads for stamped Wapis claiming that the stamped versions are "prized." I just saw an ebay listing for such prized SFK stamped Wapis for sale for $55 BIN.

    In my experience with Wapis, I cannot discern a difference between the quality of the stamped and unstamped versions.

    I'm sure this is a stupid question, but...

    Does anyone have an opinion about this?

    In my limited experience with Wapi's I too have not seen a difference...

    Nope! Me either, but all the ones I have left are SFK stamped, so I say yes, the stamped ones are more special than the others!

    No. The stamped ones were stamped because they had defects. It is the unstamped ones you want....

    I have noticed all of the unstamped wapienica razors I have seen seem to show a goldish tint in the scales and also feature outside washers whereas the others do not

    probably not

    but visually ( as far as the stamp is concerned)
    plain SFK is more pleasant than SFM in a triangle

    Interestingly enough , plastic boxes have both factory marking in the triangle.
