    Default Humpback Rattler

    This one was fun. Frederick Reynolds bright crocus type finish, rattler ground blade just a tad less then a 7/8. The original dyed horn scales were broken at the pivot end and bug eaten. Faux turtle (polyester) at .110 thick replaced the originals with a lead wedge and brass pins and collars. Honed up and shaved sweet.
    The before picture is from eBay. Sorry about that. I didn't think to take before pictures.

    The light box makes the pictures look more professional I guess but they don't do the blade finish and scale color justice IMHO so I've included a picture from this morning in natural light.
