That, and as stated by JimmyWetshaver being this one is Wade only, sans Butcher, I was willing to take a large hit to the wallet.

Not sure if you are game but I've seen your restore work, if you're willing to take on a project for me I'd be very happy to entrust this one to you...?

I'm very pleased that one of our members and someone from Canada as well, has the blade. Don't apologize, you really did save me from myself, it was something I can ill afford at the moment.
I'm immensely flattered with your offer, but I'm purely amateur and pursue restoration as a hobby on my own razors. I'm still at a point where I'm never sure if what I'm doing is going to end well or in disaster. There are many here who would be a far better choice.
I did have high hopes though and looked into getting some mammoth ivory for the scales from Canadian Ivory. They don't seem to have anything in an appropriate size right now but they said they would have more in September, if you're interested.
Whatever you choose, let us know how it turns out.

I think you are selling yourself short there Hart , the work you did on that WB in Oak Crotch is far beyond stunning...





Truly.

I'm in complete agreement with your choice in scales for this piece, IMHO it would be the perfect compliment for this blade.

Whatever you choose, let us know how it turns out.

Wilco!!
