For your consideration, my Wade and Butcher's
First up
The Celebrated Fine India
A beautiful 6/8" Chopper with jimps on both sides of the tang. Probably my favorite blade of all
Next a very old 5/8" near Wedge, early 1800's for sure and a great shaver:
and finally a 13/16" Pure Wedge that is like an Axe head! But a great shaver too. Silent!
I love my W&B's

Hi everyone!
Here is my first humble entry with the rather large specimen.
As you can see it is 8/8 B&W , but without the usual arrow.
UNfortunatly original scales did not survied, so I've made the new ones
using the bark horn from the Northern Teritory water Buffalo.
If you have a good site maybe can see the small dot of the red paint near front pin(original) -
this is from our car... Anyway it's a very good shaver. Maybe someone can tell me how old it is.

This is my first Wade and butcher needs a bit of work but should clean up nicely 7/8 finest india steel Wedge i have honed it and shaved with it and it is smooth and a joy the best wedge i have by far.Looks like some one has tryed to clean the blade with something and has left scratches in it they should polish out i hope hasnt affected the blade a least.

Just taken delivery of this beauty, a 7/8th. Had been restored by The Classic edge and is from circa 1890's. Lovely smooth shave and I love the slight smile to it, makes it so nice to shave the neck/throat area.
