    Default Sheffield wedge with copper scales

    Just needs a hone and strop. I modeled the scales after my AOS Thiers Issard as they are brazed on the non pivoting end. We'll see how well the copper holds up. Nothing a little white vinegar and polishing wheel can't clean up every now and then!

    That is sweet! I'll bet you could put a thin clear coat on it to help preserve the finish. You might have to polish it off and re-apply once a year or so...
