Thread: recently acquisitioned wade and butchers. help!!!!!!!

I need help identifying the production year on these finds. I am on vacation in hendersonville Tn and went to a gun and knife show that just happened to be going on and ran across these 2 gems. I think they will both be awesome after a restore. I just want a little more history on them if you guys know anything.

Nice. I love the french point. They will be great shavers. I would say the first is 1870 ish and the other is early 1900. Just my guess.

thanks I was real excited when I found them. the guy had more but i didn't have the money. I'm having a friend build me a set of custom scales for the french point because of the cracking. I'm going with a steam punk theme. I believe it will be awesome.

That will be very cool.

The French point will be a great shaver!! I have renewed one and it would be hard to beat for shaving.

Love the Sheffield tang shape. Classic.

I just sent the two off for a cleaning/sharpening and a re-scaleing on the french point. I cant wait to see the final product. on a different note I just did my first straight razor shave with a geneva cutleries special A and boy was that fun no nicks or cuts, and baby smooth. My friends especially the females were impressed.
