Wade and Butcher in horn.
When I saw this blade on ebay, I just had to have it. It's probably the nicest shaped blade I've ever seen. When it arrived I removed the broken scales and set about cleaning it up. I wanted to do a sympathtic resoration so I only used black emery and polish on the buffer, making sure I didn't remove the writing and leaving some of the "age"
It was then shipped off to Ernie (nerdman on B&B) and we had a chat about what I wanted. I knew what I wanted the wedge end to look like and I knew I wanted it in horn and the rest I left up to Ernie. I think that he excelled himself. It was his first set of horn scales as well.
I'm definitely looking forward to more collaborations with Ernie.

That's a hell of a razor, and the scales came out bada$$!
You only used black emery on the buffer and metal polish to achieve that shine? It came out fantastic!

That is one hell of a blade. I have one like that also but with the original scales. Nice touch with the restored scale style.
