    Default 2nd Attempt ... and 1st time making scales from scratch. Who is the maker?

    Can anyone tell me who this blade maker is?

    Someone bent over the pivot pin pretty awfully. But the blade looked salvageable.

    I tried a media-bast on another blade, and decided I liked the look. So this one got blasted too.

    Then I cut a piece of rock maple. I shaped and sanded them. The wedge is maple too. The finish is a hand-rubbed tung oil.

    I like this one - not bad for a second attempt

    Nice job! I like using tung oil too - a nice feel to it. The blade cleaned up very well. Good one!
