    Default Wade & Butcher medium barbers notch with custom rescale - 2nd resto

    G'day all thought I'd share this, my 2nd resto with custom hand made black buffalo scales i did for my nephew.
    the celluloid scales were warped with a dodgy wooden wedge, so replaced them.
    the blade has some pretty heavy pitting which I didn't want to remove completely as I would have lost the blade etching to do it.
    5/8" Wade & Butcher barbers notch
    Black Buffalo scales
    lead wedge
    brass pins with home domed washers
    hand thinned thrust washers
    rivited and re-drilled pivot hole

    just need to wait for my norton 4/8k in the mail to get here and then the honing game starts also to complete the ready for use.
    hope you like it
    Also
    Thanks to all who contribute to this great site, as all techniques used are from reading through these forums and applying them to my work

    Amazing work, maybe not quite close to the origin look, but those scales are really beautiful.
