Duck soup
Tried a new, to me, scale material. Kirinite. Very nice to work with. I replaced the paper micarta scales on a Dubl Duck Special No. 1. A sacrilegious non-traditional result. I saved the paper micarta scales if I need to make a retreat.

Thank you. I had read that it is sensitive to heat from too much pressure on the buffer, so I took it slow and easy. I had no problem with it on the belt sander, scroll saw, or buffer. I will definitely use this material again in the future.

No retreat, No surrender. It's your Duck now :<0) Looks good. I have a piece of Kirinite and haven't used it because it got soft and supple in the shop on a hot day. It kind of melted over as it was not sitting flat. I heated it back up and flattened it out but never used it for that reason. It never gets that hot in my house so I should give it a shot sometime.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Duck soup, made me think of the Marx Brothers movie, Pleasant memory. Nice job and scales appropriate to the blade. The time period I mean. I wouldn't want to see them on a Sheffield but on a Solingen FH they are 'right.' Hadn't heard of the Kirinite, looks cool, stay away from kryptonite though ......
