Thread: Wade & Butcher's Holy Grail

Just had to show this one off. I waited a long time for a nice one to come along and it arrived today. It will not take much to clean this one up. The blade is 9/8. The faces are a satin finish with the grind lines visible. The spine and tang are polished bright. No one has monkeyed with this razor. There is little hone wear and it should take a nice thin even bevel. The scales are horn with a lead wedge and no sign of any delamination or bug bites. Wonderful beehive brass collars. This will be the largest blade in my collection. I have an 8/8+ but not a true 9/8.
