very nicely restored:bow
Thought the thread could use a little bumpage. There are pics elsewhere in the site, but more pics never hurt anyone... Right?
I just posted this in the I*XL Pipe Shop Club...
Wostenholm (1815-1823).
Restoration by Gary Alfonso (Traveller).
It's the wedgiest wedge I've owned. Usually I can still see a tiny sliver of light if I hold a business or credit card edge against the blade face of one of my almost-wedges. But this baby has zero light. It's a straight wedge. And I can't wait to give it a whirl! Soon...

Thanks for the kind words here too. I actually didn't do any of the work on this blade. The scales (and I believe the resto) were done by FloppyShoes. He commented in the BST thread where I picked the Savage up that he was embarrassed by the quality of his work. Honing (and maybe the resto; I really don't know) was done by DylanDog (I'm 98% sure that's his username; I assumed his real name was Dylan, but it's not).
