Manufactured By Wade & Butcher - Sheffield - Black Horn

Here's one of two rescale jobs.

It's a W&B which was send to me with just 2 requests. The first one was to clean the blade as much as possible but with retaining the razors original character and without looking like new. This meant no reground and just a good thorough cleanup job. The blade and tang inscription is still present but hard to capture in the pics.
The second request was actually a carte blanche as to scale material and design.

I decided on some black horn which polished up to marble looking shine. Hard to show in the pics but it's so classy, rich and slick looking.

Since the tang was pretty wide I was normally forced to use a third pin but decided against it so I used a tapered wedge instead. It nicely bends the scales outwards just by enough so the blade nicely falls in between and gives enough space for the wider tang.

The spine has a subtle smile and a barbers notch.

Enjoy!

Great looking work Max. The scales look great and it was a fantastic choice to use the horn and that wedge to contrast.

Dang, dude... :bow:bow

More specifically: Wow I like those black horn scales a lot!

I'm going to have to keep those in mind next time I send you a razor.

Now those scales are fantastic! I love the hint of mottling on the blade. They're a perfect match!

:bow Max, those black horn scales look beautiful on the W&B. Hopefully, some day soon I will be able to get one of my razors rescaled by you.

Wow,I never knew that horn could polish up like that.That looks great.As usual,Max.

Now that's a great scale shape! Awesome Max. I'd love to see the wedge too! lol

Horn is one of my favorite scale materials and you did a superb job in shaping and polishing those. A1 work, Max. Thanks for sharing.

+1 -- You always have interesting wedges, Max.

Stunningly beautiful. Phantastic job, Max!

Great work Max, I've got one of these I'm going to shoot you an email about in the next few days.

Again, very classy!

Great workmanship is a given with Max. That blade profile is my absolute favorite.

Well, I am the proud owner of this bad boy. :D

As Max stated I pretty much gave him carte blanche on this one save for the request of retaining the blade's original character.

What Max didn't tell you is I specifically bought this blade with Max and his skills in mind. I would say I made one of my better decisions on this one. Took me a while of searching on the Bay to find one in my price range and condition, but it helped that I didn't need the blade to have scales! :rofl2:

I am definitely excited to get this blade back and add it to the rotation.

Thanks again Max, you delivered the goods and more on this one and I am extremely grateful for that.

That is a bad ass looking razor, I like th shape of those scales , and the black hmmm... I really like that one.

I'm loving that, really nice!
