Thread: Wade & Butcher 7/8 Restoration.

Here for your viewing pleasure is a 7/8 W&B I snagged off the bay some time ago. It's been waiting for me to find the inspiration needed to get it done!
Yesterday that inspiration arrived!
Here's how I received it.

I re-ground the blade to a satin finish, as it was fairly pitted & re-scaled it in horn. The idea was to keep faithful to the old scale material, but update it a little.
I'll be honest here. These scales were influenced very, very heavily by Maximilian's recent work! Hopefully he'll take it as a compliment.
It honed from re-grind to shave ready in half an hour, & delivered a shave as smooth as any I've had!
