Thread: Wade & Butcher Celebrated Restoration

I've had this one for a while and finally finished up (except honing)
Had a bit of a smile frown so I.m sure I will be a while with the bevel setter.
I had to relieve a bit of the shoulder to ensure better honing.
Then I just disassembled, left the blade face with a vertical "grinding" pattern and polished the rest
The oringal horn scales were a bit warped so I steamed & pressed them then polished and re-assembled with a new ivory paper micarta wedge and the original stacked washers + an additional small brass.
The original lead washer was a bit too thin and allowed contact with the scales
Anyways, I think she turned out ok
Thanks for looking
Mike
