BUT! Sometimes it's a calculated risk that pays off. $17 lottery ticket on a clearly busted blade.

Darth, my calipers need a new battery. I would say they are standard ivory thin.Can't tell from the pic, are they wafer thin?
Yeah, this one was all about the scales!

There is only the pivot pin shown. That does not have a collar. What you see there appears to be the head of a nail.They do look ivory, but the pins seem to have a collar, which is unusual. Anyway, I'd say Ivory scales for $17 is a deal.
Ouch. You are right. Well hopefully nothing cracked, and a good deal on some usable scales. I have a couple of similar waiting for a deserving blade, which I recovered in the same way.There is only the pivot pin shown. That does not have a collar.

Swedish razors with ivory scales always (I've only seen one exception) lack collars.There is only the pivot pin shown. That does not have a collar. What you see there appears to be the head of a nail.
This large Erik Anton Berg in ivory is my exception. I have never seen any other Berg razor like it.Not always Arne, I bought a MK 32 in ivory with collars. This was a late pre-war razor. I also have a Johnathan Crookes in i ory with collars. But 99+% of the time ivory foes not have pin collars.
Ah, that gratifying feeling when the tension releases from the pivot without a snap! A toothbrush, some Dawn and a quick trip to the wheel with Novus 2 and we're good to go.

Thought I had the perfect blade for them, but not today!

What do you think? Are either of these blades worthy?

My KT has collars on the pins, from memory.This large Erik Anton Berg in ivory is my exception. I have never seen any other Berg razor like it.
