Thread: Wade & Butcher Pyramid Point

I like the first one, it has the best symmetry between toe and heel imo.

I also believe the point is original. I bought this Wade & Butcher within the last two years or so and the tang reads,
"Manufactured by Wade & Butcher Sheffield" and the word "England" is not on the razor anywhere.


By the way, this razor was honed by Utopian and a fine job he did.

Thanks for all the input and advice. I'm 95% convinced about a regrind now, theres no museum in this blades future so I might as well remove the offending crack with some customization. Prob. going to go for the 3rd version from above, I quite like the idea of another curve to follow the curve of the text, looks like it would be quite comfortable to hold and still leaves me with 7+ cm of edge to use too. A straight regrind like my 1st mockup would have to go in quite far to catch the top of the crack so may not be that good.

You could do the third, and bring the base of the heel in a bit more like the first.
That would give you that nice smooth curve, and match the angle of the toe.

I have 3 W&B's with this exact same point, one is probably my fav razor it's rescaled in grey bone.


cheers

I have a W&B Special with the same point. I recently sold a Bow that also had that point. Must be factory and I think it's very cool that a company would go the extra mile to do something like that to distinguish there product from all others.

Can anyone recommend a supplier for horn and bone to make scales? being in New Zealand the closer to me the better, but im willing to have some sent from the states if the price isn't too extreme.

Talk to your local farmers and someone at your local tannery. They should know where hides, bones and horn can be bought and sold. Cut your own........
