W&B Wedge Restore in Ebony

This one was really fun to work on, and its been in the works for quite awhile off and on. I decided that I really liked the way it looked with a bit of age, so I did not remove all of the pitting. I left the tang and tail a bit rusted because it just suited the razor so well, with all its beefiness :)

The blade is a ~6/8 W&B wedge rescaled in ebony with a purpleheart spacer and nickel silver pins with stacked SS and brass washers, with double pins on the wedge. I originally dubbed these scales "Spanish Point", but after further reflection I realized that I subconciously created them more after a Falchion, which is of European origin. Thus, I have re-dubbed these scales the "Falchion Point" scales :)

Forgive me for the poor pics, I'm still working on that :)

Specs:
Blade: Wade & Butcher, Sheffield England
Blade Type: Wedge
Blade Width: ~6/8
Scales: Ebony
Wedge: PurpleHeart
Pins: Nickel Silver, stacked SS and brass washers

Wow, that wedge is 'beefy'! I love the scales too. Excellent work.

Awesome, really like the scales. It compliments the blade well.

Thanks for your comments Gents

I forgot that I also had some before pics... The scales were the original horn, but I was unable to salvage them... I overdid it a bit on fixing the warp and they didnt make it, unfortunately, lol.
