W&B 7/8 Barbers Special in Purpleheart

This is another one coming out of the shop, a Wade and Butcher "For Barbers Use" with the appropiate notch to match... 7/8 Chopper in Purpleheart scales with a Ebony wedge and double stacked brass pins and washers.... I couldn't quite get rid of all the pitting on this one but most of it went bye bye.... Took a little doing but by flareing out the wedge end of the scales I got almost perfect balance out of it, even with all the metal in the blade :D The finish is satin wipe on Poly, I think around 8 coats maybe a few more, I actually lost count on this one :rofl2:

Very nice.:tu

Nice chunka steel there Glen.

Like the flared end too. Get to see more of that pretty purpleheart. :nj

Real nice shape to those scales.:tu

Very nice! The scales look to be a good size in proportion to that chunky blade. I'm liking satin finishes at the moment.

thanks a lot Glen once again i really cant want to see it in person :)

Hehehe not to worry, I am honing it today....

Uh-oh, I really don't need to be looking at these posts.

That is one nice razor/resto...

Looks like I made a good decision:tu

The Purpleheart really looks great with this blade!
