Thread: The Butcher Shop

Here's a real beauty that I picked up off the Bay a little over a month ago. Although the handles do have some little brown spots I'm still leaning towards them being ivory. I will get a second opinion soon.

Here's an older model that Truckman picked up for me ( I haven't forgotten you Truck ).

GIMME!

I just received another Wedge in the mail, I traded it for a Stahly Live Blade, and a beat up blue-tip.
7/8, wedge, smile, and barbers notch.
On the blade : The Celebrated Washington Razor, on the scales, Washington Razor. This is pre B>---->+ and not marked England either.

Scales are horn, in great shape aside from the warp, paint loss in the "washington razor" and the two sets of initials scratched in.
The blade is not so much pitted, but was at one time heavily scaled with rust, there are divots throughout, but the bevel is in perfect shape, I could hone, strop and shave as is, but I am thinking resto. But I do not know how much sanding I can do without losing the engraving.

Pics to follow shortly.

Scaled my $6.50 W&B hollow.
Not too bad for my second attempt at scales, but I need better wood, and a few more tools.

Here is my first Wade and Butcher...

$25 for The Celebrated

That's a sweet deal SSAL!

A fairly nice Medium Size Hollow Ground I got from the Bay.

It's not like any hollows I've seen so far, and I can't get over how beefy the spine is.
This is after some Maas. Looks like it'll take something more aggressive than that to get it in tip-top shape. Otherwise: the scales are in decent shape, pivot's a tiny bit loose.
It's funny to me how some of the lines don't match up. Check the crazy grind on the tip:


A few more pics here.

Here are some pics of razor I recently restored for someone on ebay. The person backed out because he wanted to trade instead of purchase. I need the money because I am not as well off right now, but if the other razors I have sell I am going to keep it. Nothing very fancy here. its a 7/8-6/8 Frame-back I guess with purpleheart scales, paduak wedge, and brass pins and washers.
