8/8 Wade & Butcher Shorty Custom Acrylic
This is one I did a ton of work on... I buffed out the blade using 80-600 grease-less compounds then finished polishing with the buffer... It took quite a bit of work to get out the slight pitting and to take the finish to near mirror...
The front of the blade needed to be evened up also, then I made custom acrylic scales for it....
The wedge is solid black, I used all brass hardware, and the "Red Lava" acyclic for the scales....
I'll get this one on the hones tonight, and test shave this 8/8 shorty in the morning.....

All I can say is WOW
No, really, I can say more than that...
Did you make those scales from scratch or were they brought back to life?
You sir are a true craftsman

Very cool. I always like the acrylic scales and being able to see the blade sheathed within them.

As the proud owner who commissioned Glen to "work his magic" on the Shorty - all I can say is WOW! Glen's an artist of the first order. I'm really appreciative of his devotion to beauty and to fine shaving.

Nice job Glen. Like how the tang just flows into the pivot on those last pics.
