Thread: Stork titanium handle

I found a manufacturer in Belarus who is making razor handles from titanium and bronze. Yesterday I've got my first handle. I've seen their prototypes, quite many of them, and this is first final product I've got my hands on. I want to share with you what they are making.

This is Stork EX/Ti titanium

I think it looks great. Do you know the weight of the handle, and how did you find it?

This one about 42 gramm. Once I got titanium handles, the rest (and I have quite many of them) was placed back to drawer.

Good looking handle and it appears well made. The diamond cut checkering I might like better if it had points to the diamonds instead of being flat. Only way to tell though would be to try the it. Thanks for posting.

They said that they did that on purpose. When it is flat, it less spiky and more comfortable on your fingers and still have an excellent grip. I can confirm that. Really comfortable.

Plus the "typical" tool for creating diamond knurling like that may be a PITA to do on TI with consistent results. Probably because it pushes the material in instead of cutting it away, which is more of what looks like was done here. Geezer would know better tho. All-in-all some impressive machining

Very nice. I have a Jurgen Hempel Ti handle on my Mongoose right now. The 'slim wave' and am thinking of getting a UFO .......... we need more than 4 or 5 handles for safeties nowadays ......... unlike our forefathers .......

That is good to know it still has an excellent grip even with the flat diamonds. I have a stainless steel handle that has the pointed diamonds which I like for the secure grip and I find that the points are not uncomfortable in the least. Secure grip was my concern but not comfort with the fat diamonds.

For a maximum grip this is what you need. I also ordered one for myself.

Very nice. What are the handle diameters?
