    The blade is so thin I didn't attempt at sanding out the pitting.

    but it's so thin and shaves so good I'm keeping it in the rotation.
    This was my first attempt at making scales and spacers and pinning back in Sept./Oct. 2012

    Good job! I like the rough, old and worn look of the scales and the idea of using a penny as a spacer!
