Wade and Butcher - ouch - crack in blade
This one hurts the pride a bit. I had finished cleaning up a nice looking Wade & Butcher 6/8" blade and put it in some nice Maple wood scales.
Somehow I had missed seeing a crack in the blade, which may have happened when I accidentally dropped it while pinning it together. I am hoping it may be salvageable with some serious reshaping, but the crack seems to go about 1/3 of the way up from the edge about 1/2" from the shoulder - so maybe not :(
As they say pics tell the story so have included some here to show the damage. If it's not salvageable perhaps a collector will be interested in getting hold of it as it looks to be in good overall condition. All suggestions and comments welcome. Thanks in advance gents
