W&B 5/8 Wedge in Cocobolo
This one is for our very own "Da Bomb" Wessel...
A small W&B wedge that I polished out pretty heavy because the etch was just not looking all that great when I got it....
Make: Wade & Butcher
Type: 5/8 Spike Point
Grind: Full Wedge
Scales: Cocobolo
Finish: Hand Rubbed Tung Oil satin finished out
Pins: Brass double stacked
Wedge: Spalted Apple
Some day I shall learn to take real pics
This one shows the finish a little better....

Lookin' good Glen.
Knockout grain on that cocobolo.

The scales have a beautiful figure to them & that's a highly impressive finish to the blade Glen! Your photo's are indeed shocking though!

Very nice Glenn. I'm with you on the pics. Your pics are better than I can get. I try to save the picture taking for when my son comes over for his weekend visits. I am really impressed with the quality of his shots. You can send your straights over here and I'll have him shoot them for you if you don't send them to Max.
