Ward Bros 5/8 T/shell marble acrylic
This poor old fella had broken scales & some deep pitting which I removed as much as possible. Lucky it was a pretty thick grind
The previous owners name had been etched in the blade also but that disappeared thru the cleanup.
I'll try & save the horn scales for myself but as this one's destined for eBay I thought I'd dress him up a bit.
I'm enjoying working with acrylic for a change & I thought this color would do him justice.
Gave him some brass thrust washers for a smooth pivot & simple pin & washers.
Kept the original pewter wedge.
Not familiar with Ward bros so if any one has any history, thanx in advance.
And yes ! Shaves like a Sheffield“The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.”

I love that blade profile! The ones I have like that are great shavers.
Did you say acrylic tortoise scales? (of course you did!) Oh yeah, I'm there - count me in! I like the way you were able to highlight the translucency of the scale material; one of its strengths in my book.
Very nice job all the way around.
