Thread: Has anyone ever heard of Rite edge or Master razors?

I was doing some looking on the bay when I came across these three razors:

Rite Edge:
1) RITE EDGE Wood and Steel Handle Straight Razor 210582wd - eBay (item 110436754185 end time Sep-26-09 19:36:08 PDT)

Master mu1014w
Master Straight Razor mu1014w Wood handles new! - eBay (item 110439067962 end time Oct-03-09 05:46:17 PDT)

Avoid them. Please, avoid them.

The Rite Edge looks just like a Kriegar and is probably made by them.

Always be wary of a "good looking" razor on Ebay for $10/US.

My best offer would be $2. They probably make great box openers.

Your best bet would be to browse the classifieds here on the forum.

I was suckered into buying a masters. The pins are loose, the bevel edge is a knife edge, not a razor edge(too steep of an angle) and over all just doesn't feel right. After I paid for it, I came here and found the "what not to buy" list and was disappointed. It's great for opening boxes and using as a knife and I've learned a lesson.




Edit: I got it for about 5 bucks plus shipping so it was bad, but not horrible. As I said I learned a lesson.

Thats what I thought. I was just curious because I did a quick search with the names of the razors and came up with nothing.
