A gentle smiling 13/16 near wedge grind. The original horn scales were broken at the pivot. Made up some brown/honey horn scales with some smokey streaks and assembled with a lead wedge and brass beehive collars. Test shave tomorrow morning.

What kind of horn did you use and those scales may be tortoise not horn. I'm basing that theory off of the way they are fractured.
