Thread: My not-so-new new toy!

Just thought you might like a view of my latest addition to the rotation. It A Frederick Fenney 'Tally-Ho!' blade, C. 1840, with buffalo horn custom scales. I particularly liked the inclusion in the front scale. I got the blade in a job lot - no scales and covered in filth and grease. It now shaves like a dream. Blade specs are -

8/8 at widest point, narrowing slightly to about 15/16. Full wedge, spine is 5/16" thick and the whole thing weighs 98 grams/3.5 oz. The blade is fully swept and originally had the words 'Adamantine Steel' on the front but this was too far gone to save. Scales are custom made, brass pins and with a lignum vitae wedge spacer. For anyone who wants to see more of it it can be found here
