Find at Kobey's Swap Meet
Just landed an awesome Dubl Duck 5/8 Lifetime Grim Reaper today with original leather pouch. The blade has hardly any pitting or rust to speak of but the scales are warped albeit the bolsters and inlays are in great shape.

If you notice the ducks have a frown on their faces and the reaper has the wrong expression on his face. proof positive it a Pakistani counterfeit. it's not worth the price of a morning newspaper. send it to me and I'll gladly dispose of it for you.

That's pretty awesome.
I was looking at another razor with inlaid metal in the scales, and they, too were warped. Must have something to do with the metal beefing up the area somewhat.

What is up with bigspendur calling it a fake. I have compared it to other Grim Reapers I have seen and it looks genuine.

It was a joke. He wants you to give it to him.

If the scales aren't so warped they interfere with closing the razor I'd leave well enough alone. Left as is, it is a valuable piece of history, as well as a great shaver.
