Restored Wade & Butcher with custom scales
I just restored the blade and made some new scales for my E-bayed Wade & Butcher.
The scales are laser etched Lucite hand made brass washers.

Very unique. I like your take on the scales. Do you have any more detailed pics of the blade and the scales at different angles?

I used an Epilog engraver and Coral draw 4 to create the scale itself. Originally Posted by Earthdawn

Man! Thats cool! Have you seen the copier that makes 3d objects? That particular type of Wade and Butcher wedge is a fine, fine shaver! Love em!
Great job on this and kudos for the scales!"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.
