Thread: Wade & Butcher Diamond Edge

If you need some bushings(tubing) for it, just PM me your address. I've got more than I'll use in ten years. In three or four different sizes. I'll send a little of each size I have. Don't waste your money buying it in bulk. You'll never use it all, and it just tends to be another thing you have to find a place for. Some Ace hardware stores sell it by the piece though. Not mine ofc...but some do.

I've used a Selleys product called Kneed It with good results for the pivot hole.
I just put some 3/32 tubing in and fill the rest - gotta make sure it's square though.

My biggest issue is that I polish the tang before I do it and have to do it all again after filing the filler down..

Finally I can actually vouch for Wullie. I have the same razor as Wullie and this technique of removing rust has come up a few times in my posts and it works.

I am not a paid spokesperson but I play one on TV.

Are you saying you sharpened a pencil, then applied the pencil lead to the rusted areas kind of like you were shading it in?

Yep. just like your drawing on it. You'll feel the rusty spot get smoother as you rub the lead on it.

Pencil trick does wonders. Wullie, you are some kind of sorcerer.

Pbbbbt. Learned that trick from an old man back in the late 60's. He used it cleaning up rusty spots on his Browning Superposed to keep from messing up the bluing with steel wool. Worked like a hose then, still works today.

Glad to share. No magikik involved.
