I think that was the work done by Vlad to rework the blade.

Thanks for all the lovely photos guys

I have a sculpture project for college at the moment. Most of my class mates are doing superheroes of their own devising. I thought that I would stay true to my passion, sort of & stay with the straights. I have drawn up & am currently making the first model for my first sculpture, Butch, who is Sweeney Todd's favourite blade & weapon. I have the design very clear in my head but the tutor has asked for pictures of straights to show from where I got the ideas. Would any of you chaps mind if I used the pics which you have posted here of the more "smiling" wedges? I promise that I will only use them in my workbook. When I complete Butch, I will post him here, if I have not already posted the W&B monster which I hope to acquire as my entry to "The Wedgies".

Philadleph, I must say, your work has been my inspiration for Butch.

Aaron, I like your Joseph Smith very much. It's simple and very eligant!

I don't have any pictures of my old Dumas wedge - still on the bench - but I may have a "near" wedge that is quite beautiful:

Somewhere in my buidling in the FedEx guy's cart, this razor is coming to me. I should have it in my hands by the time I go home today.



D'oh, that didn't work. I'll attach pics when I get home and can host it in photobucket.

It's a W Greaves Sons Fencing Foils 9/8. Restored and made even more beautiful by Traveller. From about 1835.

Gotta love a wedgie now and then:

F. Fenney Tally-Ho 7/8. Superb scales by Traveller

Hess 5/8 NOS wedge. Outstanding shaver.

Jordan

Heres mine. I'll post follow up pictures when it is looking a little better.

That's a familiar looking razor. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. I'm not much for wedges, but my Greaves performs like such a champ, it is my number two razor after my W&B.
