    I've got a Brunoblade in hand to do exactly the same thing. Can't wait to get started. Thanks for posting because I was also thinking doing something similar at the heel and also considering horn scales.
    Very nice finish there. And very nice blade Bruno forged...
    I love living in the past...

    The first photo shows it as received then followed by polished. You will notice I modified the heel slightly to tone it down and also just take a fraction off because I couldn't get the right curve on the bottom of the scale. As it was, I was in danger of having a very sharp point protruding below the scale. The scales are rams horn - I usually use buffalo horn but decided to try something different as I intended to leave the ridges - however that wasn't to be so I sanded both front and back.
    Your work has proven inspirational. After some correspondence with Bruno, My custom blade is in the works and I couldn't be more excited

    Yes I know your anticipation, I have a custom blank on the order list now also to the same level so I can complete it, so the search for a scale design & materials in on in readiness.

    Agreed! I've been experimenting with bone scales and horn spacers, think it's a great combination:
