Thread: walks like a duck

So another razor showed up at the house today, and it came with the orig box. The box said 5/8 round point dd goldedge,it looked a little bigger than 5/8. And after putting the blade on the ruler it measured 6/8!! Do the folks at Dubl Duck measure their blades a diff way??? Or the 6/8 was in a random box that said 5/8. Anyway I perfer the larger steel!! thanks

Are you sure it's the original box? It's possible it got re-boxed years ago.

Who knows if its the orig box. But a 5/8 is a 5/8 and a 6/8 is a 6/8 correct?

FWW, I have been hearing from some razor folks that I know that many of the DDs are made a little bit more than the nominal size so +1/16th isn't out of line.

Yes, but someone down the line might have put a 6/8 GoldEdge into a 5/8 box.

How did you measure it ? Top of spine to edge is always larger than the actual size.
Measure from the hone wear to edge you will get a more accurate reading but yeah 1/8 is on the large side.

I like it when that happens because it was being sold as a 5/8

Yes i measured it from the top of the spine to the sharp edge

Yeah. My 6/8 Puma is 13/16 when measured like that

I just assumed you measured the whole width of the blade, thanks
