I know right, what the heck! I was half stoked when I found it and then noticed the chip and made an audible “awwwww,” sigh…
What I didn’t say was they wanted about $100 for it. Also, I can’t be buying a chipped blade called invincible that’s a parody of itself!
Yes, I’ve experienced this with Temprite razors too, but primarily those scales shrink!!! I had one that shrank the wedge pin right into the toe of the razor. So much so that it left a divot on the toe and bent the blade!
Yeah, I know one guy that tried to replicate Temperite scales by making a mold, but he couldn't get them quite hard enough. Most Temperites I have seen listed had shrunken scales to some degree. I would love to find a clear scale material and see if someone could replicate the Temperite logo...someday. :/
Believe it or not, I'm in the process of figuring that out for a set of Red Imp scales. If it will work, who knows? My mother has picked up a very nice laser engraving machine for her hobby projects. We were going to give a try at producing a logo on several different blanks in the next few weeks/months to see if we can produce something serviceable. I'll let you know how it goes!
Sounds good!
