    Cool Had to show dis here!

    Hey guys here is somethin for yous to gaze at through your steely eyes! I bought this W&B Special on ebay just for the scales. I got bored and tried to fix it, its the kid in me! It turned out about 3/8 and about 2.5" legnth edge. Looks something like a "picador" that I saw a while ago. very unique. now for the fun part...I acatually honed and shaved with this yesterday and it performed very well. unbelievable no?

    Ideal for trimming around a mustache. Someone got their monies worth out of that one in it's lifetime of service.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
