Solingen "Best Silver Steel" 5/8's Round Point

Sometimes you just get lucky with a good snag. All I really had to do was give this a little scrub and a once over with some polish so not any reason to put it under the restoration thread. The etching is pretty well perfect, no hone wear, upper and lower jimps, a couple small spots on the tang and a little wear there but all in all in great shape. I was thinking about building some clear scales for it but the factory scales are in great shape so I think I'll leave them be. Enjoy :beer2:.

Nice Razor. I am very partial to solingen steel... You would have broken my heart if you ripped off the original scales :)

Glad to keep your heart intact lol, no reason to take them off or replace them here. I've been wanting a little Solingen round point for a while now and got lucky here. My only other round point it a 7/8's Clauss.

I was a little if-ie about it too but I kept looking it over and over and had to try and snag it. I'm glad I did. :D

Now all you have to do is bring it by so I can hone it. I need to shave anyways!!!

Nice! I really like the color within the etch, in my opinion it just takes the look to another level. At first glance I thought something was inlaid within the blade.

This is what the hunt is all about! A nearly mint Solingen, and it should be a very fine shaver. Congratulations.
