Yes - finding the spike points in W&B is a tough search...managed a couple of months ago to find an 8/8 FBU spike point, nice medium grind, just got finished up by Valery. Been looking for better part of a year now for another Celebrated, FBU, 9/8 spike point, just simply haven't seen any....Quote:

Yup - those are the ones...they complete me! ;)
That's a keeper in my books if ever I saw one...that will be a spectacular blade when you restore it.
Came in one of my better local antique store hauls ever...
Four 8/8 or wider Wade & Butchers
One 7/8 American Razor eagle etched
All in one stop...
They said some guy had bought 10 or more wide ones like that before I got those...I ran into the guy once that had gotten them, he was at another antique store talking about knives and razors and mentioned hed bought some there...he said hed gotten a ton...said 5 were 10/8 or bigger...id been in that antique store a million times and never asked about razors and they had been behind the counter in a knife roll the entire time. Needless to say I always ask when I go to antique stores now...
In the spirit of the World Cup, all I can say is....Quote:

Haha... well I just came back from an antique shop and all I got is a brush holder. .. When asked they said everyone is looking for razors nowadays.
Here is another poor mistreated frameback. Got it out of the box and messaged the ebay seller. Told him I wanted to send it back because the scales looked like they were 'chewed up.' I couldn't think of a better adjective to describe it. He messeged me back, said that when he read 'chewed up' he remembered having his puppy get hold of the bubble wrapped razor before he put it in the box. At that time he didn't realize the puppy had bitten down hard enough to damage it. So he refunded my $ and told me to keep the razor or dispose of it as I saw fit. Kind of a disappointment, but some days it beez like that. :shrug:

Send me the razor, you can keep the chewed up scales haha
A new set of scales can do wonders for your disposition. Nice frameback (I'd say send it here, it will have a good home, but it looks happy where it is.)
