Or I'm just too dimwitted to get it... :-)

The guy's got another so called razor/folding knife on the bay. Pretty evident the individual doesn't care about craftsmanship or quality. If they did they wouldn't put a set of piss poor scales on a razor and a crappy pinning job to boot. The blade looks soft from the pictures and probably wouldn't hold an edge very long.

There's varying degrees of hand made. Just as there's varying degrees of " made in...". A number of years ago I had a relative who when in high school worked vacations on a 'tulip farm in the northwest. Most of the tulips were shipped to yes you guessed Holland! To be sent back here as 'Dutch' bulbs.
What part and to what degree does something have to be hand made to be "hand made"?

Unless these razors are made in a country where labor is dirt cheap , common sense should tell you that you can't make a living selling hand made razors for $22 . Actually , I shouldn't call these things razors because you aren't going to be able to shave with them .

It is like that old Star Trek with the evil Dr. Spock. I wish the doppelgangers of my work had little gotees so they were easier to spot.

Well if those Dutch Bulbs held a quality edge I'd try shaving with them.

The difference is not "Hand Made", it's "Quality Made"

For the $20 to $60 dollar price a hand made razor runs for on ebay, I could get a couple High quality Henckels or even a Puma or Dubl Duck.

Personally if I am looking for an attractive and "Quality Made" razor to actually shve with there are plenty of vendors with a high reputation.

Yes, you pay more, but you always will for quality and attractive design.

Just my $0.02
