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.

I am sorry to hear about this. I am sure there will be other straights worthy of your fine scales.

Yikes! What a surprise that must have been. Those scales will look great on another razor though. Nice work.

Ouch, bad piece of luck there. :( Hope the next resto goes more smoothly.
Oh man, that is unfortunate.
Well that sucks. Are you going to chuck the blade or try to salvage it?
It's a full hollow ground so I doubt I could salvage it. And it's probably cheaper to buy another blade than to pay someone.
