ca. 1825 John Barber in Horn
I love bringing back blades like this. I tried to be true to the time period with the scales, and I used a vintage chunk of lead for the wedge from an old W&B. nickel silver and SS hardware, and an absolutely gorgeous pile side piece of horn that was a complete surprise. you never know what you run into when you start sanding down what you think is a solid black horn blank! too bad it didn't show up on the front scale
Edit: I forgot to add.. this is just over 5/8 ...about 11/16.
