My First Wade & Butcher
Not the best W&B on the market but... it's my first W&B. ��
It could have come out better ... but even worse. ��
Just used sandpaper (320/500/800/1200) and a bit of polishing paste. Scales will be restored in the next months (Covid permitting) ��
To hone it, I'm waiting for a new King 1K stone to set the bevel and then it will be finished on Nakayama.

Those collars are nice. Hope you can save them for reuse.

Using as much of the the original equipment, is a must, when I restore. As is, for a few others.Mike

Definitely before 1891. By the look, shape of the tang, the grind, the collars and the scales I would say 1850s-1860s. Maybe earlier than that.

If you have a dappling block, you can reshape the collars, make them look new, again.
And yes...those are the original scales, after restoration.
A tip for you:!
Clean the collars the best you can, before you remove the pins. Once removed, their hard to hold on to.
Some of us use a pin vice, and a piece of pinned rod, to hold them for cleaning, after their removed.
Just pin the collar into the vice, for a tight grip.
