Something a lil different...
Found this blade rusting away in badly chewed up set of scales. Sent it off to Mark to get revived with a set Merino Rams horn scales.
Btw this is a Merino Ram.

though the slabs were quite narrow I wanted to use just one so I could rip it and have the sides as closely book matched as possible. Now the ripples line up from side to side.
Getting the thickness wasn't too much of a problem but getting them flat ( with the memory in the slabs) was a bit of a challenge. But I took the fight out of them.
Thanks for letting me do this piece . I like that I was a different type of challenge.Suticat likes this.

I must say the ram looks like a lot of our members before their Saturday shave. That's a great restore. A real 'looker".

It has a nice rustic look to it. I took it for a test drive this evening. I must say it was a very nice clean shave. Im not used to a blade that big and honestly it kind of intimated me at first. But after a few stokes it was like shaking hands with an old friend.
