I've had this blade kicking around for some time. It came with cracked Ivory scales. The blade itself had some issues which I addressed. It's a neat style.
This is is what lead me to build it to go into my collection of carved Ivory that I'm working on. This is #5.
i kept the design simpler than the others as it seemed more fitting to this blade. I did inay a piece of black lipped MOP which has some beautiful color to it. I made the lead wedge as a nod to tradition along with washerless brass pins.
I really enjoy carving/ building these.
