Well, I had just finished making new scales for an Elite Cutlery Barber's Friend blade. Purpleheart with an Ironwood wedge. I was polishing the handle - had the blade wrapped in a cardboard sleeve to protect myself - and when I unwrapped it here's what I found.



So, I guess I'll be in the market for another blade.

Here's the whole piece before it broke.
