There seems to be little known about what Wilkinson Sword blade ranges were made in England, and how long each type was produced.
This thread is here so that if anyone can shed more light onto which ranges were available when, and what the various codes printed on the DE blades mean, they will hopefully send me a personal message here on the forum and I can update this thread accordingly.
This place is for information on the double edge blades made by Wilkinson Sword in England - before production moved to Solingen in Germany and the blades changed their characteristics somewhat.
Over time I hope to update or create a new blade review spreadsheet for the different types, complete with photos of the pack labels and any info on approximate years of manufacture.
Of course, I'd always welcome any blades being sent to me to review - just drop me a PM.
What we do know, or believe to be true:
Wilkinson Sword came out with stainless double edge blades in 1962.
Production in England ended in 2000.
Photos of the pack designs and blades contained therein will follow shortly.
