Korean Frameback

[Fnord5]

Ok, so this was the first frameback I have seen in the wild.
Unfortunately, there were several chips in the blade, and one severe crack, leading almost to the spine.
It was being sold for $5, but I passed.
I may go back, just for the frame, to toss in a new blade, but $5 is steep for a broken blade, no matter who you are.

All the markings were in Korean, and unfortunately, I cannot read it. If it were Japanese, I would at least be able to look it up.

That's what I had in mind when I saw it.
I dunno, I may bypass the idea I had, bending my own frame out of steel tubing.

How well did the Koreans and French get along? I wouldn't want any bad juju going on with my shave gear.

Well it's got to be worth five bucks not to have to go to the trouble of making your own from scratch

Not to mention the steel tube is 6, and I would have to cobble together a set of scales.

Bugger.

I'll go before work

I am now the proud owner of a Samsung Frameback.

Cost me 15 bucks, not 5, because there was a minty long handled super adjustable with case and blade pack, for $10

Build to be coming soon, just need to get another opniel, as the one I have is staying as it is.

Glad to know you have some boundaries

Is it actually made by Samsung or have I missed a subtle joke?

Actually, it is made by samsung.
I have pics, going to upload them in just a bit.
