Thread: Stainless Wade and Butcher??

10pups has to be the most decent guy I've had the pleasure of running into. He has been a wealth of knowledge and a real decent human being. He is mentoring me from 3000 miles away and doing a bang up job based on my results of applying his insight. He can have an avatar of whatever he wants. I would rather see a cute dog than a resemblance of charlie manson. IMHO. Not that an avatar of charlie forehead carving and all doesnt have a place here.

I agree with you - we are only joshing! He is a decent, stand-up guy.

Regards,
Neil

Of course he's a stand up guy. No one in the community has anything but good words for him. That's partly the reason the good natured banter about his avatar has usurped this thread.

Charlie Manson? Glad you're not talking about my avatar. Mine clearly resembles Rasputin.

It is a little amazing that Wade & Butcher did not make a stainless straight razor, at least I have not heard of any. They did make cutlery from Firth Stainless Vintage Wade AMP Butcher Sheffield 12 034 Carving Knife Stag Handle Firth Stainless | eBay.

I had an George Ibberson & Co, Firth Stainless, from Eaton's Co had a nice violin on the tang, unfortunately, that blade had a crack in the toe and got chopped down...

Here's a better pic of one, from an old SRP thread:

Yea, I knew Ibberson made razors from Firth Stainless but surprised that W&B apparently did not connect the dots and make some also. W&B were making cutlery from it, why not razors then?

STAINLESS steel that will not rust?
Harrumph!


That new fangled stuff will never catch on. Why bother?

Likely about the size of it too.

Well they might have been thinking clearly (as far as razors go) . How many stainless razors are there really? And I think I was told that there are only a few alloys worth making into a razor even today.

And just to set the record straight my avatar is a male dog :<0) And Soundguy we have had fun with my choice of avatars before. Many times taking threads off topic. I don't like to bring it up because the winner of the last "pick pup's avatar" contest has yet to claim his prize
