Wasde & Butcher 9/8ths Customized
Customising this W & B 9/8ths was quite a challenge. All done by hand.
It was a battle between pitting and the etching. Starting at 400 grit all the way to 3000.
The scales and wedge took a piece of my soul to create :) Translucent white horn scales and wedge lined with brass.
I'm still trying to get decent photos showing off the translucent scales .
Previously I had restored an 8/8ths which you wouldn't have guessed its size until opened , so this one I wanted the blade to show itself off even when closed.
I gave it the full Nakayama/Nagura progression and the edge is to die for.
