I'm afraid that spike points and I just don't get along. In the interest of keeping my face in tact, I'm going to have to let them go. This is a Wade & Butcher 5/8 hollow ground spike point in Koa wood scales. The wedge is made from a U.S. nickel. The pins are snug and the blade centers nicely. I polished up the blade but there are a few stains left and minor scratches, but I'm sure they can all be polished out if someone wanted to spend the time. It is shave ready.
