    Default Stop me! Before I stripe again!

    I restored an old Geneva and a Top Flight a while back in vintage striped scales, so now I have just completed a few more to keep them company in some somewhat 'different' stripes. A nice Geneva blade in the black and white striped scales and an old Ellicotteville Blackie CMon in the red, white, and blue. Pinned the Geneva collarless as his brother was done, the CMon in vintage silver collars as his Ellicotteville brother was pinned.
    Pretty 'striped out' now (they make me dizzy!) so I will spare you guys any more stripes for now!

    The Blackie blade was too thin and short for it's intended scales, so shortening at the pivot and sanding down the wedge was necessary. Needed a good fit!

    They turned out pretty good!

    I have not honed the Geneva yet, but the Blackie shaves amazingly!

    Very nice. Did you laminate different colors to get the stripes?

    Reminds me of Dazzle Camo http://assets2.thecreatorsproject.co...5e505f5da9.jpg and just as hard on the eyes too. Be difficult to use hung over for sure without wearing sunglasses.

    Yes, cannot stare at them for too long. My camera got confused in just taking the pics!

    Stripes make the blades look thinner. So the fat lady says :<0)

    I really like them....... .................................................. ...............in your collection.

    To say they turned out good is an understatement
    They came out great, I love the stripe pattern materials
    Excellent job again nearly a 1 week set in stripes
