Thread: what do I have?

I have a question and hope some one can give me info. I have a Wade and Butcher that does not say sheffield, or sheffield england. It says Wade & Butcher famous keen bow razor. and on other side of tang there is a bow stamped in. Can anyone tell me what ive got?

something like this? robbed from Max's website:

yes just like that. The scales were in bad shape and I just took it apart for my first restore project. The stamping has some fading to it.

ya just like that. the scales were in bad shape and the stamping a bit worn. took it apart to try my first restore project. was a ebay purchase.

You've got a Wade & Butcher Bow Razor. They are good shavers from what I hear.

Here's a few answers I got when I asked a similar question.

I finally did get my Bow too. Holli is honing if for me now.

Thanks for the help. looks like someone did some sanding on mine before. no etching on side of blade. I plan to use it myself and prob wont sell it. needs new scales. looking forward to finishing it. any idea of posible value?
