No, my company agamart.ru working as distributor for Stork. Stork razors located in Belarus. I am just helping them to sell this handles. When I saw handles first time I was amazed with the quality and decided to help them

Interesting comment coming from someone who once said they "ordered a couple" and then decided to cancel. Not trying to break any etiquette rules, just want people here to be honest in their assessments...

Fair enough, but I don't think you need to own something to appreciate its beauty.

Gents, let's please keep this thread on topic - Stork handles. Thanks.

bakerbarber , I PM'd Andrei [Tras Krom ] after exchanging some notes with celestino on where and how he purchased his. Prompt replies along with a link to his storefront: https://agamart.ru/catalog/?q=stork

I would really be interested in both the Diplomat and the Ball End when they have additional stock/availability. The workmanship is of extremely high quality.

The handles look fantastic. I really like the RWD Ti wave handle. Very tempting.

Wasn't trying to go off topic, just want members to be honest with regard to their opinion of Stork. Hector clearly stated a few months ago that he was boycotting Stork because they copied a handle style produced by Wolfman, and now he sings their praises. I think this forum is devalued a great deal if members are dishonest...

Do you have an opinion on Stork?

I am against all forms of copying the work of others, not just limited to Stork (for example, soap makers that ride the coat tails of famous fragrance houses when scenting their product). So, while some of their handle designs may be appealing, I think they poisoned the well with their initial efforts...

And I will note that my feelings about the company have nothing to do with my comments directed at Hector. I just find his sudden change of heart to be very telling.

Well, since you don't know the facts of my decision, you are just expeculating.  Anybody that wishes to know my reasons all they have to do is ask.  Otherwise, I don't have to explain myself to you or anybody else.

The funny thing is I don't know this person, he just take it upon himself to follow me all over the Internet, lol. Now, that's telling, lol.....

"Drive by" members like you devaluate DFS immensely.  You need to grow up.

Thanks much. I would point out the derivative products such as Rive Gauche pour Homme/CaD/Fine [Barbasol], Triad/Stork/Hempel [Aristocrat] etc. are very common in this and other industries however I do respect your point of view.
