I have to agree with gadivier's implication: return it. Since I was modifying the point on mine which would void the warranty, I inspected it very, very carefully. The only fault I could find with...

Great, now I can get my commission for promoting them! Ha! There are a few other places listing them although most have a "Call for availability" note. I still don't understand why I was told that...

Imagine how I felt. That's why I didn't even consider doing it myself. I had seen a Dubl Duck with a broken toe that Glen had salvaged and that was more or less the same grind needed here so I had...

Nice pics Bob (I need to get a decent camera!). I notice that Smallflower now has only two left.. was #31 the other one?

Well, it may be a while Bob. This all started a year ago when I had a chance encounter with a Boker salesman in a cutlery store, the conversation "somehow" turned to straight razors, and he whipped...

Nope, just got here. Has the factory edge, of course, and a slightly uneven bevel which will be no problem to correct. However, I do want to put a Spanish point on it and get rid of those factory...

Boker Elite s/n 007 just arrived. (The name's Elite, James Elite.) A week shy of a year from when I saw a prototype and ten months before the supposed production date, I managed to get my grubby...
