    Ive been hunt for these big razors for a long time, and ive only came across 3 of them. I passed on the first on because of a major crack. Bought the other two.
    Its kinda funny how pumped up you get when you finally fine the razor youve been looking for.

    I thought I found one the other day in a store I had been to before. I saw the scales poking out from underneath something else and almost started salivating because I could tell by the scales it was huge. Got the case unlocked and opened it up. It was huge alright. Huge crack too. Right in the middle of the blade. I do think it was a 9/8 or 10/8. Crack was about a 1/2 inch long. Wade and Butcher. I was heartbroken.

    When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
    It's the same when you are stupid.

    Exactly! I almost wet myself when I picked it up the scales were so big. When I opened it up it seemed like the blade just kept coming and coming...
    Then I saw the crack. I keep thinking I should go back to see what he wants for it. Maybe I could do something with it but the crack is right in the center of the blade.

    Should have picked it up anyways, the crack could have given you some leverage when bargaining. Besides, on a blade that big the crack couldn't have been that substantial. Oh, by the way, I just picked up a W&B 10/8 FBU free in a lot of razors. I bought the lot because of several 1700's stubbies that I have been wanting and the FBU just happened to tag along for the ride.
