Not doubting you here, but I wasn't aware the Kinfolks made a "Red Point" Many companies did so it is possible.. Could you post a close up of the tang or tell me what the stamp says????? Thanks in advance... I collect Kinfolks so if there is one out there I will be hunting for another

That is a great find either way, every "Red Point" that has passed through my hands has been a good shaving razor....

I wondered the same thing, but yesterday a collector in California who specializes in all brands of Red Point razors sent me pics of this Kinfolks.....talk about drooling! I don't have the back tang pic, but the stamp on the front is the same as other Case and Kinfolks razors I have owned, which says "made in USA, Not in Germany". What do you think?

Yes my razor on the other side of the tang says Kinfolk, made in the USA.
It's a 5/8ths BTW. And yes it is very exciting to find something like this amongst all the beat up stuff, she had three others that were just rusted out. The other Red Points I have seen are stamped made in Germany don't say Real Red Point like this one except for the one posted above and they also have number stamps like 971 or something of the sort.

I like GSsixgun collect Kinfolks brand cutl. I have been collecting them for 35 years. To my limited knowledge Kinfolks made 5 straight razor brands.
Kinfolks Incorperated with long tail trade mark
Blue Steel Special
Wedge
Bravo
Guaranteed for life gold washed blade

Of these I have all but the Guaranteed for life, which are hard to come by with the gold on the blade still intack.
Not to say that they didn't make others but I have not seen one yet. After they were bought by Robeson they (Robeson) made cutlery under Kinfolks TM, so who knows?

Just my $.02 worth, with respect.

Almost forgot the Ace which was also a Case brand. Opps
