    I'm just wondering. Did the old vintage blades like Wade & Butcher have a mirror shine on them when they were new?

    Most of the old near wedge blades with “frosted” etch were mirror polished.
    Those that I have seen without etching were not mirror polished.
    But later when hollow ground blades with black etching were popular the blades will have grind-marks.

    But of course, there were always a few exceptions.
