Wade & Butcher "Barbers Use" 8/8 in Black Horn
This heads back to holli4pirating tomorrow after some honing tonight.
Black buffalo horn, sanded for FAR too long from a 120grit beltsander all the way to 1500 grit, and then buffed to mirror.
Bone spacer, note it was a touch crooked and I didnt notice till I was processing pics
I straightened her right back up after I noticed and gave the pins a few more taps with my hammer to ensure it doesnt move again.
A decent amount of pitting remains, mostly due to the fact that it was pretty close to the edge and I get a bit scared of over doing it -- the pitting doesnt affect the bevel though, because holli sent this blade to me shave ready and I intend to send it back to him as such.

Well done Brad! I'm sure Holli had a great big grin seeing your work on his straight.
