Wade and Butcher in dark horn
Attachment 218225Attachment 218226Picked this one up on fleabay for very little. I liked the shape of the blade and it was fairly good condition. I hand sanded, polished and then put the blade in my case tumbler for the final finish. I masked the "ground" area of the blade with electrical tape and then glass beaded the spine and tang. So shiny ground area with satin finish elsewhere.
I wanted to play with making washers. I bought some nickel silver stock and cut pieces. I stacked them on an 0-80 bolt and turned them using a file to bring the whole set to a uniform diameter and round. I hand slotted the wedge end washers and beveled the edges to reduce the thickness and lastly polished the washers.
The wedge is also nickel silver.
The scales are dark horn, reproducing the "factory" shape. Honed up nice and is tomorrow's shave.
