I totally destroyed my Wade & Butcher. F**K! Anyone want to take a wild guess how? It's happened a lot because there are warnings all over the place. Damn. The blade had a small dark spot on it, and it was almost gone when I slipped and the damn collar of my Dremel hit the cutting edge. Three large, triangular shards went flying into oblivion. That was my first and nicest razor, the one I was going to hang onto. I'm lucky the shards didn't hit me. I can't find them either.

Man, my wood just came in the mail, I was all ready to cut out the new scales tomorrow morning.

I know everyone wants to see pics; but, I too depressed to take any. There's nothing salvageable; one of the shards is less than 1" from the shoulder, and goes all the way up into the curve of the hollow-grind.

I did just find one of the shards. It was weird, the blade was singing as the buffing wheel gently touched it, and all of the sudden, PANG!

I'd like to say I've learned a lesson, but there really wasn't a lesson to learn, other than, don't slip!

Oh well, I guess. I still need to make several sets of scales, just one less now.
