Thread: wade & butcher beveled spine

heres another one I did recently, making the scales from this new fangled paua alvs stuff I seem to like so much
this one a 7/8 wade & butcher near wedge with a swaged spine, beautiful smile to the blade as well. this one was an exceptional shaver. honed up with one layer of tape. The paua comes in a few different tint options, this is the blue which is my favorite.
the blade had a wicked black coating on it, not sure what was going on there. seemed like someone had coated it with something as a protectant.
