Thread: battle axe cutlery co.?

i have a e-bay find razor called battle axe. it is made in germany has a slightly smiling blade and looks to be a full hollow. i have not herd of the maker before and searching the forums turned up nothing of use. dose anybody have and info on the brand.

i will upload pics later.

Battle Axe Cutlery Co. was a trademark used by A.R.Justice.

I've never seen one of their razors but they made some good pocket knives.

here are some bad quality pics it is really rusted but i am going to use it as a practice restore or if the blade is a dud i might try to put the scales on a diffrent blade.

that is weird because it said on the razor "made in germany" but that is a US company. maybe the razor was made before they were bought by A.R.Justice?

This or they used the "made in germany" for marketing purposes.

Impossible to see stamp on the blade.
Many Americans companies imported goods from Germany and had European birth.

yeah i need a better camera it is a picture of the axe not the company name. if i ever get a better picture i will post both sides.

IIRC the battle ax brand pocket knives were made in both the USA and in Germany too. I found one pocket knife in ebay completed items where the seller say the knife was made by Shouse & Hardin in Germany. Maybe the razor was as well ?
