Japanese Straight Razor Thread

Great haul Steve!!

 

Thanks!

 

Picked up a couple of nice user grade Tanifuji for $95 each they look pretty decent though they’ll need some cleanup. One has some unique markings that I have not seen before. Seller’s images.

 

Snagged a NOS Yasuki steel SanKan today, I’ve always wanted one of these red-scaled taxors. Or two, lol.

 

Very nice. When is the "Pass-a-Round" going to start. Me first.

 

Huge japanese razor haul
From left to right.

Super kikubushi, king heart Columbia, h. Diamond, hoshi tombo 8500, daishi, colt super extra, royal swedish steel, micor kami, jade cup , nobel kami, kikubishi Orion, kikubushi valsack, and a unknown jap frameback. I'm gonna be busy honing for awhile !

 

Whoa - what’s the backstory?

And are those top to bottom starting on the left?

 

Story is I was super lucky on buyee and won two lots of nice razors !! Probably only 300 invested in all. Yes starting on left , top to bottom then go right top to bottom

 

You did very well!

 

Received this really cool razor from my brother for Christmas/birthday gift. He said it was sold to him as japanese market only H. Diamond. I'm not entirely sure that's correct but it's a beautiful piece!

 

Nice!

 

It has a Western Grind, so it was probably not strictly Japanese market. But, it is a very nice looking razor. The H.Diamonds are some of the best, in Japanese blades.

 

I thought that too Scott! I question it being an H diamond , mostly because I've never seen a H diamond marked like this or have this blade shape. Ive got some research ahead of me.

 

Hayashi Diamond - ハヤシダイヤモンド

You be the judge.

 

Well thats that , thanks for the translation!

 

Kyoei folding kami, I really really dig the scales ! Not to mention I'm a sucker for folding kamis!
