Appreciate all the great member and those behind the curtain, keeping things running!

What noted QA issues??
News to me, it’s an extremely well made razor from a proven manufacturer

I was around the CNC quailty of the head/cap.
Also what do you mean by a proven manufacture?
Did you know that K is sub contracted and made in China.
Drakkant is made by Yates.

This was noted by a member in my other forum.  My bad, I am it a few and got mixed up.
But....
Kopperkant - picture is worth a thousand words...

How many do you know of that have reported issues like in the picture?  I would love to review the thread that discusses this issue, what forum is it in?  If there were a lot of buyers reporting QC issues that is one thing, just one or two is another.

What are the grid marks called?  Is that some kind of standard engineering method?  Thanks - what a bummer.  Does Yates make the Ti?

As above, what is the grid?
The picture doesn’t appear to have been taken dead centre, look at my yellow circles?
Which would skew things?
My bad, I forgot it’s made in China

I am with HOLYZEUS on this one... The head seems off in the pic like the camera is off center to the left hence making it look to be off. I would question the person that took the pic and his intentions before making a bold statement that the Mfg'r has QC problems!!

Hey, just tossing out a little  buyer beware. I don't think it was the just the picture. But hey, my wife says I an wrong all the time, so I am use to it. Now LRod reported this ( forum member on another forum / B & B  - within his long long acquisition tread - boy I thought I had RAD), which  I am on.  On his first shave it felt a bit odd, then he investigated.  
So yes, I am super luck to have twice as many super nice members...
Now it was confirmed by both parties that it was an milling / cnc error in the CAP. 
TRC (purchased) was unhelpful and directed him to Aaylsworth razors. So they did send him another CAP pretty promptly which resolved his issue. After that, the first re-do shave was excellent. Following ones, not so much. But as always YMMV.    Just has to share,  it certainly has the stuff to be a great razor in the right hands and face! 
Cheers BFX 
So many choices
So little time
So little $

Did an antique finish on the Kopparkant and it came out pretty nice. Used it with the + Plate and it reminds me to the Overlander just more efficient. Pretty smooth and efficient. really great shaver

Rec’d mine yesterday, fit and finish is excellent.  One shave in, too early to tell yet but I think around Overlander/Nodachi efficiency.  More blade feel than Overlander, less than Nodachi.
