Thread: Old Wade & Butcher Blade

Here's an Old Wade & Butcher Blade I acquired recently & just got it. It is in really good, smooth shape. It has no rust & no pitting. It will make an excellent razor when I make some custom scales for it. It is 6/8" at the widest point. This blade should hand sand nicely! I already have several blades I need to make scales for including the Jonathan Crooks FBU blade I have. I think I'll use black horn for both! I made the white horn scales on this W & B here if you scroll down to the one with the steamship on the blade:
