Joseph Rodgers 7/8 & Wade & Butcher 13/16 in Horn

partial Translucent horn this time..

First one is a rather snazzy shaped W&B. It was in pretty rough shape when I got it, but, it cleaned up pretty nice.

Second one is a 7/8 Rodgers with a faint etch that I decided to save. The blade still has a touch of patina on both sides

Brad...there's only one word that comes to mind:

WOWWWWW!!!

What nice blades.

Again, where did you say you live and when are you going on vacation??:rofl2:.

If you decide to put them up for sale or something, let's chat:tu

Nice work

That's a great bit of horn you've got hold of there Brad. You've certainly done it justice. Particularly liking the W&B for it being a little different. :tu

That W&B is absolutely stunning! Of course, the Rodgers isn't bad in its own right... :)

Those razors are really beauties. Real nice work you've made with these. How did you polish the horn scales?

Both those razors are beautiful,but that W & B is the real deal for me. Gorgeous.

I don't know much, but I would be proud to have those in my line up.

Beautiful !!!!

Beautiful!

the scales are just fantastic.

The W&B is mine, and I'm a happy camper. Thank you Brad, for rescuing a classic yet unusual W&B.

I got this W&B off eBay for a good price because it was in sound but rough shape, with cracked, flimsy yellow plastic replacement scales. I feel sure it was originally scaled in horn. The re-pinning work on the plastic replacement scales looked like it had been improvised with the butt of a pistol. :rant: :confused:

But I loved the cool, unusual shape of the tang, and the blade with the diamond spine and odd tip notch. I thought "This W&B is crying out for a restoration, with....polished horn scales!....um, hello, Brad?!" :idea:

Great job Brad! :bow

Both look great, but I really like that W&B. A very unique blade shape, and the horn looks brilliant. Nice!

Great work once again Brad! Looks great, especially the Rodgers. The patina looks nice on it. Was that the original shape of the WB or did you get a little creative with it? I've never seen one with that shape.

That was the original shape of the blade.
