Beat me to it, but when this was a yahoo forum some years back, I picked up a TI from them. (Price was ALOT less back then.) Recently had it honed by Lynn and IMO, it's a wonderful blade.

hey i thought they went bankrupt to make the way for bailing out everybody else
as far as i know they are just TI. at one point their prices were a bit outdated but i think they've corrected that.

From the Lehman's website:
I think TI claims "lead hardening", and I haven't seen any other maker that does.After being hand forged, each blade is plunged into boiling lead, then quenched in water and sharpened. Blades stay sharp longer and will last a lifetime. Made in France.
Now, "boiling lead" tells me that somebody doesn't know anything about metallurgy. "Melted lead" I could believe.

Steel in molten lead is not in contact with air, effectively avoiding decarburization.
Google finds lots of modern references to the use of lead.

Ivan beat me to it..!
Clearly Dick Fuld has moved on from banking into razor forging...
I've not heard the name but I'm interested to hear what you think of them Glen!
