Thread: Wade & Butcher Restoration

This W&B suffered a broken scale in the worst place at the pivot hole. The client wanted the scales saved and gave me free reign on the blade.
I made a brass plate and fixed the broken piece's with pins. This meant I need to fix a plate on the opposite scale also. It turned out pretty nice.
The blade was scared from a previous restoration and there was hone wear. Hone wear removed and given a mirror finish.
It now centers tightly, looks good and hopefully shaves well.
