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 white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

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.
