Thanked: 13236Wade & Butcher 8/8 Hollow in Horn
This is a complete Custom Restore going home to Dale...
She came up here to the North Woods actually not in too bad a shape, just some sitting around age, no bad pitting or funky wear,, The old horn scales were shot through...
Here are some before pics
The blade was polished out to a near perfect mirror on the buffers and by hand.
The scales were built with some Streaked Horn from Masecraft, sanded to 12000 grit Micromesh then polished out by hand... I used a .008 Silver Tin lined Faux Ivory wedge...
The pins are Nickel Silver and the double stacked washers are the new size of #0 SS over the old size #0 SS that gives a nice tight bullseye look if you stack them correctly.....
The honing is done on a 1/3/8 Naniwa then finished on a Select Grade Coticule which is my goto system for these older Sheffielders... I think I might have a nice night time shave with this one later
The razor of course balances to the tang !!
