I have a one in, one out policy so I have had to make some calls...
Two 7/8 square points (both a little closer to 15/16).
First up is a mint NOS Friodur 17: 7/8 Half Hollow. Comes from the factory with slip case, coffin and papers. As far as I can tell under a loupe, still has the razor thin factory bevel. Passes HHT on some of the blade, but will need its inaugural honing before shaving.
260 USD, shipped anywhere via NZPost tracked and insured.
Next: SK Colling 7/8 square point. I asked Steven to make me a razor like a Fili 14, and this was what he came up with. Other than size, it is not really comparabale: it is heavier, and with a thicker grind. Only ever been honed with tape. Takes a nice edge, but it doesn't bring me joy. Blade is slightly off center; most of the time it closes properly, but it can hit the away scale if you aren't paying attention.
150 USD, shipped anywhere via NZPost tracked and insured.
As these are coming from the ends of the earth, please allow at least 10 business days for transit.
Not lookng for trades, but will consider offers. Bear in mind that I am eating postage, and that is a significant chunk of the asking price.
Thanks for looking!
