Thread: Wade and Butcher Featheredge

OK so some of the guys who were there late in Ohio wanted me to polish something so I pulled out this odd old W&B Featheredge lancet type blade that was like most 150 year old W&B's. It was heavily tarnished and rather pitted. I went at it on 1 side with the stainless polishing compound but eventually we ran out of time and people wanted to go home. Well I finished polishing the blade today. It ended up with only a few puts I didn't take out on the back since they were deep to start with. The rest of it is now mirror. I am also debating putting custom scales on it but the horn ones are great so who knows. I will hone it up and see how it shaves since I haven't tried one like this before. I thought you might appreciate seeing the final result especially if you saw me start it in Ohio.
