Election Day Top Flight
Just got this thing off the hones right before doing my civic duty yesterday. The blade is 13/16 and pretty pristine, longer than the 5/8 models. Such nice blades made with such cruddy scales. Oh well. I seem to have fixed THAT!

HA! Just another example of a blade bought here and some vintage scales acquired there, John. Diving into the pile and coming up with something different!

That is a cool combo dude. Nice wide Top-Flight a rare bird indeed.
And how in the world did they make those scales? So many color changes with consistent spacings. Geeze.

Well BRUCE?
I voted and didn't get a cute sticker. Got turned away at the first place I went to. Naturally that one is close to the house, so I had to drive 4 miles in the opposite direction to make my statement. I used my CHL for my ID verification. The little girl looked at it, showed it to her neighbor on the desk and the neighbor looked at it and told her NO PROBLEM, that's as good as a DL any day of the week for us.
As usual, you've gone and knocked another one out of the park.

I wonder that too. Slick as glass. Thought they may stack up the material and heat-bond it?
Cut slabs from it? I would love to see how they did LOTS of these things. I suppose by looking at modern techniques and adding a hammer and screwdriver sometimes makes sense. Neil will know!
Ya I went in and told em I was Wullie. They said 'Wullie who?". I said "Wullie get to vote?" They gave me a ticket! Originally Posted by Wullie

What the hell is wrong with showing ID and your name being on the list? That wasn't on the ballot. Oh...................
This is Texas! Thanks, Brother!
