Thread: Joseph Elliot 'For Barbers Use'

A 7/8+ Joseph Elliot For Barbers Use near wedge. The challenge to restoring this blade was correcting the huge divot someone had ground into the spine on the show face side back towards the tang. It all worked out well in the end with a nice glazed finish. The original broken scales were replaced with some beautiful fiddleback honey horn. Brass collars and a lead wedge completed the restoration. I have included a picture from the owner where the fiddleback figure in the horn is easier to see. The in work pictures show the blade faces off the 400 grit belt and the bevel set.
