    Default plated blades

    Got a Geneva Cutlery Inc that looks like it's blade has chrome plating on it. Was this common? Any concerns with honing etc to avoid the plating flaking off?

    I am no metalurgist but I would think the heat required to plate a razor as thin as they are, would affect the heat treating of it. Mack

    Without a photo, I just don't believe you!

    Actually, I'm just interested. Post one for me, please, if you can. I'd like to see it.

    I know for sure that my Genco (a B2) was not plated.

    I have several razors like this and it is nickel plating. It is hard to find one with it completely intact.
