The first one is a D. Miller & Son wedge from 1860. I used a Dremel with wet sandpaper on this one.

The second straight is a Wade & Butcher wedge with a Masonic etching, probably from the middle of the 1800's.
Used a dremel with wet sanspaper on this one as well.

Very nice I like the scales on the W&B
Very Cool! That is some etching on that blade! Your 'elbow grease ' really paid off. Nice work.

Thank you.
I like them too, the blade came in those scales when I bought it.
Yeah, it's etching all over the blade. I didn't want to take it too far and ruin the etching, hence I couldn't remove all of the pitting on the other side of the blade.
Well, I actually didn't really elbow grease. I used a dremel with wet sandpapers from 240 grit up to 2k and then I elbow greased a little with some metal polish. It took me all in all 4 hours on the W&B. Here is a link to the method I used: http://lordsofquake.net/~ToxIk/dsh/dsh.html
Nice work Penan
Great work Penan they look great. Love the etchings on the W&B!
Nice work mate!
That yellow Wade and Butcher is pretty. Been searching the internet all over for that blade.
Cool stuff!
Very nice saves!
Wow!
Very nice indeed.
Splendid work...the engraving on the masonic blade looks really cool, too.
Nice work
