    Default WANTED: Concave Grind

    I am searching for a "sleek & sexy" concave grind. (I remember seeing a nice EA Berg somewhere. And I fell in love. So I prefer the Swedish steel, but the English models are fine too.)

    I love PayPal.

    Thanks,
    Christopher

    Mine isn't for sale, but I think apart on klaas tornblom I've seen it on few others. I thought the torrey that was for sale recently looked pretty similar, but you are explicitly asking for swedish steel.

    Actually, I'll take what I can get...as long as it's a concave grind. (Maybe I should remove the Swedish steel preference.)

    The Klas Tornbloms are nice. Frederick Reynolds made a sweet model too.

    Thanks,
    Christopher

    "concave grind" refers to something specific:
    For example:

    http://www.straightrazorplace.com/fo...una-ivory.html
    http://www.straightrazorplace.com/fo...ingle-pin.html

    Looks like Chris has a case of sellers remourse

    Some people call it a rattler or faux frameback.

    (I call it sleek & sexy!)

    Thanks for the painful memories. =) Actually, I prefer the thick spine of the Freddy R. over the Klas. And the Freddy R. is the style I'm really looking for. (But I'll take the Klas for the Swedish steel!)

    Hmmm, that Klas looks VERY familiar... (and no, it's not for sale )

    I made a change to the advertisement. I originally stated that I prefer all natural materials--tortoise, ivory, bone, horn, and wood. However, I'll consider any material because I'll probably have it rescaled by one of the good folks of SRP anyway.

    So as long as it's a concave grind...
