    Default Wade & Butcher "Celebrated Damascus Steel" Ivory Scales

    Here is a restore done for a forum member, the first of 4 that I have completed the other 3 just need scales, so pics are forthcoming...

    This is a Wade & Butcher, Celebrated Damascus steel, which I restored & rescaled in authentic ivory. The great thing about the ivory is that it is nice and thick, as I used some old ivory letter openers that I found at an antique shop. Pins are nickel silver, spacer is black buffalo horn. I left a bit of "character" on the blade, as I thought it would make it look even more classy once scaled in the ivory. The ivory has a generous coating of renaissance wax, and has a nice shiny polish. The etching is very beautiful, and was preserved wholly. It reads, "Wade & Butcher, Celebrated Damascus Steel", along with the usual W&B arrow logo, and some neat vines. The last picture shows the lettering best. As always, forgive me for the shoddy pics, i'm working on it :-)

    Maker: Wade & Butcher
    Brand: Celebrated Damascus Steel
    Grind: 1/4 Hollow, ~5/8
    Scales: Authentic Ivory, nickel silver pics w/ SS washers, Black buffalo Horn Spacer

    That looks really nice!!

    This razor screams to be held. There are many excellent razor restores pictured in the gallery, and you laid them all out on a table in front of me, this would be one of the first ones I'd pick up, just to look at it. Just my opinion, of course.

    Well done, and nice photos!
