Union Razor, actually started in Little VAlley NY. Something few know. The browns then took it to Tidioute, In 1909 the decided to change to Union Cutlery. Read my book and it explains more. No one has used the name since. So has Union stopped makeing knives NO, Kabar lives today and started from Union Razor in Tidioute. The first the Browns made knives. Thanks for asking. You will enjoy the book if you like this sort of thing.
The Union Razor Co.was sold to a barbers supply company in Iowa. The barber supply had been a long time customer of Union Razor buying privately branded straight razors. All of the Union Razor’s existing stock, tools and tang stamps were shipped to Iowa where they languished until 1982. I’m not sure if the barber supply company ever used any of Union’s brand names or tooling. In 1982, I bought the entirety of the tooling, tang stamps, and a ton of old paper.
Interesting!!! Thanks for posting and welcome to AAPK!!!
