Thread: CLAD tangs

That picture doesn't even do it justice. In person its like- I don't even know. It's an outstanding razor IMO.

Here is my only 'clad' razor. A Robert Klaas "Kissing Cranes" marked Prussia so I expect it is an older model. I apologize for the lousy photos, I have to get another camera. This first generation Mavica isn't doing very well but as long as it still functions I'm too cheap to buy something better.

If my history is correct I believe Prussia only existed until around 1909. I could be way off. Definitely no later than 1918 though.

here's one of my rodgerses with quite a bit of tooth on it.
i think that's what you're talking about. and as you know they're not too easy to find and expensive.




some day she will be really pretty along with her siblings...

thats what im talking about...where do u find them?

Here are some clad tangs that I just bought to restore:

The first one is a Wilbert Cutlery Chicago:

The next is a JR Torry that has some active rust on the blade:

And lastly is an unmarked one that looks pretty great but maybe of dubious quality because there is simply no mark anywhere on it (maybe under the clad...which may or may not be an aftermarket modification):

There is no one place you can find a specific type of razor that has been out of production for some years now. Add the desire for pre-ban ivory and your chances are greatly reduced. Now add a covered tang in pre-ban ivory and you are looking for a needle in a hay stack.

Your options are to place an article in the classified section that you are looking for that specific configuration. That may be your best option. Next, keep your eyes open on EBay and search all countries. Lastly search far and wide in antique shops, flea markets and garage sales. Realize that looking for a specific anything stretches the odds of actually finding what you are looking for.

Lastly, you might want to make good friends w/ Gugi and see if you can talk him out of the one he has.

Good luck in your hunt!
