Ludo???

Would anyone please educate me regarding the "Ludo Shear and Razor Works"? I have found one of their straights that is all but in perfect condition.

Thanks!!!

Phew, from the title, I thought you were referring to the character from The Labyrinth...

I have one made by these folks. It is a 5/8 Masterbilt Wedge. I am in the process of honing and haven't quite got it up to my standards yet. I am waiting on pastes for my paddle strop to be able to finish. It seems to be good steel but I won't know for sure until the shave test.

That Masterbilt is a good looking straight. My particular model is a skillcraft with plain scales, but the blade is perfect... just needs some polishing. I have some MAAS and a 400 something series Dremel that will clear that all up. I'll try to get a few pics on here sometime today or tomorrow.

Does anyone know anything else about this company?
