    Default Henckels real or fake?

    I saw this on Ebay:

    eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

    I have never seen the Henckels twins separated or the Henckels emblem hot stamped on the scales. Is this a genuine Henckels?

    I dont know enough about the maker to say about how the logo was displayed but all the mention of WWII, grandfathers razor and NOS make me instantly suspicious. It just sounds like someone trying to drum up interest in the auction by making wild claims.

    He also says in the description that its unopened, which clearly isnt the case as he's opened the box to take his pictures.

    My gut feeling on that one is avoid.

    this is really interesting.
    i have never seen single man in henkless.
    they usually double or quadruple.
    this may be new production.

    Could be an early Henckels International logo, but I don't know.

    My gut says no, too.

    I believe that it is genuine, but lower quality. I've seen Henckels knives with one man and they were less expensive than the standard Henckels.

    I, too, have a deep mistrust of this razor.

    It could be real, but I am so used to Henkels with the double man logo that this single seems suspicious.

    Even having said that, the stamping on the tang of the razor that appears in the photos seems OK.

    "Produced on 50's" and "The razor was producted at The Second World War"

    seem to be contradictory statements to me
