Wade & Butcher. I'm new and don't know much else about it.
I found three Wade & Butcher Sheffield straights this weekend at a flea market. This is the second one I found.
Wade & Butcher Sheffield that has some tarnish on the blade that I'm going to pick up some Maas and see if I can clean up. The handle is in pretty good condition with only a brown discolored spot and some rust on the pins.I picked it up for $20.
I'm trying to resist the urge to hone these. I was a scout and know how to sharpen knives but I doubt I could ever get it shave ready sharp. My Dad thinks I can but I think sending it to be honed so I have a good base line would be best. Is it worth honing? I don't know how to look at a blade and tell if its been over-honed etc.
There was another with it but one of the scales was cracked clean through near the butt pin. It had a more intricate design so i wish I picked it up but I was low on cash and didn't expect to see anymore.
