Wade & Butcher -Diamond Edge Razor- 7/8

[haza]

Hello,
this time it's a beautiful Wade & Butcher "the celebrated fine india steel - diamond razor edge" (they are always rather pompous those of W & B

).
At first I thought to make a new handle to replace the original, since he had a few nicks it closing point of the blade and a few bites here and there, but then I thought: it is his original and that it was not put so evil,
I decided to keep it and restore it. out came a beautiful color "butter scotch" with a nice transparency.
As always leave room for the photo

Great work, I love the old blades with horn scales, they can look new after a little work.

Great work! I hope to find one like that one day and to be able to make it as beautiful as you have.

Dayum, as a buddy's 7 yo son said having seem a winsome lass on the tv, "Daddy, she makes my boy parts tingle".

I need a pretty wedge like that to round out my collection.
