Thread: A Wade & Butcher With Spanish Point

Hello everyone. After a long absence, so long in fact that I can't remember my old user name and password from the forum that was compromised.
Here is a W&B that I shaved with today after finally completing the resto.

I forgot to use tape along the spine and I also forgot to sand and smooth the inside of the scales. Why, I have no idea. New Rosewood scales. I feared to put it to the greasless because I would probably have eradicated the remaining nomenclature that is readable but faint.
OMgosh!! Scratches, scratches and still more scratches. I'm embarrassed.

It performed the parlor trick; AKA cut a hair as you drag it across the blade. Pops hairs on my arm.
Anyway it shaves awesome.

Restored one very similar, recently. Like yours, it needed a lot of the heel, reshaped. You still need to thin and remove some of the stabilizers, so your not honing on them. Its causing a frown, just in front of them.

Their not really meant to be Spanish points, though it is nice to shave with, they've just seen a lot of use, and time on the hones.



Scales look good, too.!
You could carefully sand the insides with a fingernail file/ emory board, or sandpaper on a Popsicle stick.

Thanks Mike, that's a good idea. I've got a number of small files and various grits of emery boards. I see exactly what you mean about the stabilizers. Will have to work on that.
