    Default Hunter & Son in MOPluminum

    Nice Hunter & Son Sheffield wedge.

    I vandalized it with a new thumbnotch, a Spanish point and mother of pearluminum scales with clear wedge.

    Still needs honing...

    Beautiful work. I'm always torn about your thumbnotches... they're beautifully cut, very, very attractive. But it does seem a little like vandalism...

    Eh. Anything that looks that alluring can't be bad. Cheers!

    If Karma exists, he just shouldn't ever go to Sheffield; otherwise I think he's safe to grind away!

    Especially after grinding a few from the Butcher Works. That's just asking for it.

    And I would totally buy that kind of razor. I just wouldn't have the balls to grind it myself.

    I come from Sheffield and I can see all my ancestors turning in their graves at what you have done. No not really I have talked to a lot of old cutlers and everybody has their own way of doing things as long as the razor is been used I think that the old razor maker would be happy. I personally like what you have done to the razor. Keep up the good work.

    I think this blade actually fits the scales better (one of the joys of adjustable hardware, it's easy to mix and match scales...). The Hunter is a slimmer blade than this one.

    Empire Razor, wedge grind, barber notch,. nice smile. Came with thumbnotch original from the factory! No mods to the razor, just refinished it. Very little hone wear (I'll soon be adding some!).
