Thread: Junkers

Once you get the hang of it,
Junk like this one I picked up over last weekend are ones that can be restored.
It will become a 5/8 instead of a 6/8. The rust isnt bad, spine wear is lite and eaven, but it has a chip in the blade at the toe and mid point that can be removed. Plus a great set of scales.
Just $10

By the way.

I have to see where there are some in my area. I know they have a couple huge ones closer to NYC where i used to live. There's a lot of antiques shops around here. Ill be on the prowl.

Fortunately junkers are easy to find.


I do agree with the suggestion that you should at least try to find diamonds in the rough. I used to sort my razors into three categories of boxes--1. Ready to hone 2. Fixer Uppers and 3. Wretched Refuse. The last category was just for razors that may at least yield a part, like perhaps, a thrust washer. The thing is, as time passed, some of my Wretched Refuse got promoted to Fixer Uppers as my restoration abilities improved. Hopefully the same will happen for you!

Yeah... Like making shorties out of real junkers.
