8/8 Wade & Butcher - The Celebrated in G10 B/W
Where in God's name do they keep finding those huge Wade & Butcher.
It's incredible how many I have worked on. Talk about shortage. :)
Big 8/8, 1/4 Hollow that never disappoints. The blade had the usual patina and light staining. This one restored to A+.
After I had finished throwing this beast at all my tools I was really impressed by the results. For a blade that's a least over a hundred years old it looks as good when it was produced. Sometimes we encounter razors that just have the tendency to really be restored to immaculate. This is one of those.
I was asked to use G10 Black/Tan with an adjustable screw since the owner likes to have a tight pivot. The brass micro fasteners adjustable weren't truly a perfect fit so a ss button head torx screw was chosen which uses a pivot barrel of 1/8". The pivot hole of the W&B was already very large so it wasn't really a problem either to drill a 1/8" hole. Screws hold everything together from both sides. Talk about a tight fit. As to the wedge Tapered black linen micarta.
Enjoy.
