J.Allen & Sons. Hand Forged 6/8 wedge completed
Finally re-assembled with the original scales post repairing them. I don't know how to link threads but it was called
'Horn scale repair'
An eternity of grinding & sanding & 6 hours of honing later, it's still close enough to a 6/8 wedge.
The shave was well worth all the time & effort and I can see this one fast becoming a favourite.
I'm happy with the patina. It was a gentle process alternating Vinegar baths with Blueing paste and a cleanup with Mother's Mag polish.
I also like how the honing resulted in a hamon like illusion.
$20 in a junk shop buys you a world of experiences. :)
