Thanked: 402Oh I have this one as well. Also without a handle.
I've tried to find a good match but until now I am quite clueless.

it came with original transparent blond horn, but despite the fact of what they Were, i hated how they looked, i removed them and sent em to someone else for soap. and am having some made and the tail fixed. ill probably have glen hone it.

when they came in the mail, i didnt know horn could be transparent, i thought they were just some faded celluloid. i alomst just snapped them off and threw them away. but luckily i had the since to google transparent horn.

Here are my entries:
#1 is a B.J. Eyre & Co (Late W. Greaves & Sons) 6/8 that is in rough shape, but is nice and thick, so should clean up with a little TLC...
#2 is a Joseph Allen & Sons Non XLL 5/8 (I know it says "Hollow Ground" but it's quite wedgy) that I actually kind of like the patina on, so I'll probably just hone 'er up and see how she does.
#3 is a Union Cutlery Co. Spike 11/16 that I haven't decided whether to see if I can get all the pitting out or if I should just leave it and go
#4 is a Wade & Butcher that is gonna be shipped to Max when I get the funds.
#5 is a Wostenholm IXL 5/8 (The blade etching is the "The Americans Give The Right Hand Of Fellowship To All Nations And Own An Universal Brotherhood") This one will be polish only, as I'd like to keep the etching if possible.
#6 is a Wostenholm IXL 7/8 that is my best shaver. love that big beast.
#7 is a very old Wostenholm IXL 4/8 (I've had several people guess early Washington Works era based on the shape of the blade and tang). this thing is a superb shaver.Last edited by the wanderer; 05-31-2009 at 05:09 AM. Reason: can't attach pictures in Safari 4 for some reason...

those pics are really quite flattering, its gonna cost me about 60 bucks total to make it actually look like that.
but with different scales
still prettier than reality:
tail ground up and black, nicks in blade, good ones. pin hole pitted out, superficial scuffs and scrapes

Thanked: 234
It's a damn near wedge. I also have the same model in 4/8s. It's got a nice feel to it, I like it.
