Wilkinson Sword Chromium XCN blades

[Snooze]

Would any of the vintage blade fanciers out there be able to give an opinion on these Wilkies?

They are made in England and while probably not Light Brigade standard are they worth a shot?

I believe @Mark1966 has some which he might be able to give you some feedback

Chromium Edge Sword Masters. Very highly regarded by most who've used them.

Thanks @Nightguard - so many varieties of the Wilkies out there I wasn't sure!

English-made Wilks should be an insta-buy. Same for English Gillettes.

Thanks @Monsta_AU - are these as good/better than the 'French Browns' ?

They will be similar. The 'French' are only packaged for the French Market with the dispenser card. The wrappers have 'Made in England' on them.

These will be later than the 'La Brun'. I suspect the steel and coating will be different, but would be either the same machinery or from the same factory.
