Finally got my hands on an MK 32 with ivory scales. Thing was never honed when I got it and I just buffed it up and put a nice coti edge on it. One smooth shaver!! Sometimes eBay really does pay off.

Nice blade!
I've seen some Spanish straights before made with Swedish steel.
Wonder what the Filly's are made of?

Congratulations

Unfortunately for you, all Heljestrands are an important part of Swedish culture, & thus prohibited to take out of the country so for avoiding problems for you, you can send it to me & I make sure it goes back to the Eskilstuna Steel Industry Museum

Man, I was unaware of this law. I will be happy to send it to the Eskilstuna Museum as long as they send me fair compensation

3) Akamatsu M-55 Manaslu 6/8
5) Toyo Schoen Burg
6) Diamond Hayashi

Good luck but those are hard to find. I have a long list of people who have asked me to get them one of those three. It's been a while since I've been successful.

Allright, take your chances, but when this guy shows up at your doorstep, you know your time is up

Yeah, I know they are rare, but I've had pretty good luck with my WTB line hoping that while posting people see it and help me out.

I'll probably get the Toyo Burg from Martin as rasurpur.de - I'm just debating between the frameback and the hollow ground one.

If Mr. Heljestrand shows up at my door he is more than welcome to have his razor back

Haunted by a ghost for the rest of my life is not worth hanging onto an MK 32

Why, I am not sure what you are talking about

**tvldatsi** · 01-06-2011, 10:55 AM

WANT! my great granddad is Swedish, too bad he isn't around to bequeath a razor to me..

**honed** · 01-08-2011, 01:35 AM

Jernbolaget frameback, 1890's.
Those are some sweet shavers!

Very little wear on this one.
Just finished up the scales this morning. Bocote!

**grump** · 01-10-2011, 03:22 PM

Just picked this Johan Engstrom frameback up this weekend.

Thanks!

Blade was made here:

Painting from 1910, Eskilstuna Järnmanufaktur ("Jernbolaget") Forge & factory.

And the scales here

I just had this EA Berg rescaled. The old scales were ivory, but had a big crack in them. Seraphim did the handiwork.

Pretty!
Shame about the ivory though, there aren't that many EAB's around with fancier scales.
Mr Berg went all out on performance, not so much on looks.
But they are absolutely top notch shavers, in any company IMHO

Here's my Hollinger. She's my first successful honing on a coticule. Mellgren, Sweden is stamped on the tang.

...Ray

**dalecooper51** · 01-21-2011, 03:12 PM

I found a pair of Engstrom framebacks at a flea market last weekend. They need a bit of work, but should clean up nicely. Sorry about the bad pic, all I have is the cell phone right now.

Never heard of, probably made on commission either in Germany for Sweden or vice versa.
"Mellgren" is a not-so-unusual Swedish family name.

Totally unrelated is Kajsa Mellgren (or perhaps her great grandfather made it , so it might just be related...

)

There wasn't a Swedish teenager around the first half of the 1990'S that didn't have a severe crush on her

There's those Engstrom framebacks again, they must be more common in the US then over here!
The strange thing is that Engstrom is in fact one of the few bigger forges that went out of busines early, while straights still were popular, they folded due to bankruptcy 1917.
