I've never seen an older version of that blade...very, very nice. IMO, I like the older version...

This wedge was the first W&B I purchased, used it last week or so, great blade. Here's mine:

Those are great-looking Butchers, guys. For what it's worth, OP, I much prefer the shaves from my big smilin' Sheffield wedgie blades than I do any of my few full hollow blades. Just another one of those YMMV's in this sport!
