    Default Helje' MK 33

    Why do the heljestrand mk 33 go for somuch money in compparison to the other MK's? I don't know anyhting about the brand.... I own a couple sweds, but they are framebacks. I have been noticing the Helje's because I kinda like the thumb knotch. Should I stay away from certain series?

    Isn't the 33 also like a 7/8?
    Larger razors Tend to sell for more money.

    Oh "7/8th"? Maybe that explains th $364 price tag... So, does anyone know the size on the mk 30? Maybe I have a better shot at that one.

    Yeah, like it has been said, the 33 is a 7/8.
    Ivory and the size seems to draw the prices up a fair bit.
    That said, there are places where they seem to be more common, and demand a little lower prices generally.

    Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

    In this thread post #4 has a size chart for most Heljestrand models, 33 is indeed ~7/8

    Yeah I was just watching the one on the bay as well! It looked great but I couldn't justify a bid at that price mainly because I got a 7day set of 32s for not too too much more than that. But with original scales and box that seems like an OKAY price.

    Very cool, thank you! That is what I needed to help see the differences... I couldn't find anything when I looked.
