W&B 8/8+ FBU in Black Buffalo Horn
The original pic Jeff sent me
Specs:
Make: Wade & Butcher
Model: For Barber's Use
Size: 8/8+
Grind: Hmmmmmm I am thinking 1/4 Hollow
Blade: 2.80 inches (I believe this was repaired in the past)
Finish: Near Mirror (look deeply into her eyes Guys)
Scales: Black Buffalo Horn, .120 thickness, polished using 3M 400-8000 grit paper then buffed, almost the same design as original with perhaps a slightly more flared look to the wedge end
Wedge: Recon Malachite
Pins: Brass
Washers: Triple Beehive Stacked - Brass and SS, Internal Bearing Washers - Brass
Honing: Chosera 1k - BBW - Select Grade Coticule (using Alex's smashed slurry technique)
Yeppers still balances right to the tang just like it did originally with factory scales
Thanks for looking
