The scales are African Blackwood with the original horn handle cut and inlaid to maintain some of the history. The wedge is of the original scales too. The collars are watch gears that I had on hand from an X who was into steampunk.
This blade took me FOREVER!!! But thats also because it was my first, Ive been getting faster so I hope someday to be able to make one in a day, but thats far away lol
