Let me see let me see let me see!
Oh and....Original scales were celluloid plastic Bakelite who knows...had shrunk so remade in brown Buffalo horn
The spine work looks interesting. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
Looks like I should have waited a couple of minutes before posting.:p Nice save, I bet your customer will be very pleased.
that's beautiful man! looks like it was a lot of fun, the horn scales look good on it. is that inlay or applique from the original scales as well?
Yes I reapplied the original brass "Pieta" inlay onto the buffalo horn scales.Quote:

haha, ive got a lot of the pita's but no pieta! I'm gonna keep my eyes out for one now though, I love the spinework on that one. ;)
Yeah I wish it were mine, its a heavy blade, just hate breadknifing out a frown, someone had a nice humped hone im pretty sure, the bevel is nice and even now but im having a hard time getting the bevel towards the toe set, near the heal it shaves off the jns 1k, but the toe hasnt met yet lol...such a pain, I had to lay it down, was getting aggrevated
