    Default W&B Wedge Restore in Ebony

    This one was really fun to work on, and its been in the works for quite awhile off and on. I decided that I really liked the way it looked with a bit of age, so I did not remove all of the pitting. I left the tang and tail a bit rusted because it just suited the razor so well, with all its beefiness

    The blade is a ~6/8 W&B wedge rescaled in ebony with a purpleheart spacer and nickel silver pins with stacked SS and brass washers, with double pins on the wedge. I originally dubbed these scales "Spanish Point", but after further reflection I realized that I subconciously created them more after a Falchion, which is of European origin. Thus, I have re-dubbed these scales the "Falchion Point" scales

    Forgive me for the poor pics, I'm still working on that...

    Specs:
    Blade: Wade & Butcher, Sheffield England
    Blade Type: Wedge
    Blade Width: ~6/8
    Scales: Ebony
    Wedge: PurpleHeart
    Pins: Nickel Silver, stacked SS and brass washers

    Matt,

    I love Ebony. Excellent choice on the wood and an excellent job on the peening.

    I like the way you think outside the box and give the scales a different twist at the wedge side.

    Thanks for your comments Glen and Max.

    I forgot that I also had some before pics... The scales were the original horn, but I was unable to salvage them... I overdid it a bit on fixing the warp and they didnt make it, unfortunately, lol.

    Great save & nice flow to the scales.
    Choppers & Falchions... very appropriate
