Thread: Chatillon (Germany)

Does anyone know anything about this straight? I find absolutely zero info on the internet. The scales on this blade look like ivory....hardly any pores and has a waxy feel to them. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks but that's my thread...

This is New York company. The founder was John Chatillon. The company was founded about 1835. The company is still in business, but discontinued cutlery about 1937.

Hmm ...
But interesting fact, stamp XTRA was used by The J.Dixon Cutlery Co. Germany in 1920's. James Dixon & Sons is Sheffield company and still in business since 1806.

The razor has 'Germany' stamped on the tang.

And it's stamped 'XXtra' and not 'Xtra'.

Can anybody take a guess at the scale material?

It's not a problem.
The J.Dixon Cutlery Co. Germany was from Sheffield.

So you think that this was straight made by the J.Dixon Cutlery Co. Germany
from Sheffield, England?

I'm a little confused.....

Scales look like bone to me.
