Yeah, it's the first one I've every seen and was a bargain.
Have a couple of Henckels in the mail right now.
A #14 and an inox 72 1/2. The second one is a friodur, both in original scales still.
Also have a second FeON Takahana en route. This one has some nice blade etching still on it.
Cheers.
A big pad of construction paper from Amazon. :)

These are the ebay pics of the blades. They look un-reworked, and seem to be bigger blades still.
Only have the one henckel so far, smaller 5/8 blade. But I do love the grind and temper of them. From what I read on the forums, the Zwillingswerk stamp on the tang indicates a completely Solingen worked blade. I think there were a bunch reground post Company Closure that are to be avoided.
Hopefully these are keepers.
Won't have them for a few weeks, but definitely before the cold sets in I hope.
Having recently got some TOBS Mr. Taylor Talc, I've decided I am definitely a "talc guy". So, to up my game, I have a Marvy Stand Up Horsehair brush on the way.
stocks are near non existent so had a bit of a spree as I haven't bought any new inventory or anything for a while.
some scale materials - Black buffalo horn, Brown horn & bone,
a couple of threaded handles for my Grinder,
a 5 in 1 basic leather tool & stitching prongs,
some paracords of different colours, Red, green purple & Blue
still want to make another order for some synthetic scale materials - G10 & kirinite maybe when I find the right priced suppliers
I have my first frameback on its way...I don't really care for the way they look but I wanted to give one a shot!
