    So I got this old girl fixed up,I went with maroon micarta and followed the original scale pattern,slim and rounded.The tang has a slight twist in it and when it comes down into the scales you have to put a bit of side pressure on the blade to get it to drop in.I thought maybe I would have to get creative with the honing but nope,one layer of tape and a perfectly even edge.Go figure !

    Looks great!
    The scales look like exotic wood.
    I would have never guessed that those scales are micarta.

    Very nice restore.
