    Cool W&B in Honey Horn

    Complete custom restore

    Re-polished the W&B Steel, took out the scratches with grease-less and then ran through to a SS compound

    The Honey Horn scales are .110" thick
    The Solid Brass wedge is .065" at the far end
    SS Domed outer washers, combined with Solid Brass Pins ans Solid Brass inner washers hold it all together

    Chosera 1-5-10 for the set up and trying out a sweet little Coticule for the finisher my friend Roy/Cudarunner sent north to mess with

    Looks like it just rolled off the grinding room floor in Sheffield Glen, terrific finish you achieved on that blade. Really like the contrast of the brass pin on the s.s. domes as well.
    Well done once again sir.

    Nice job, the horn looks to have some deep streaking in it, I bet it is much complex in hand. Horn is so very hard to photograph, but I can see it hiding in there.

    It's a great example of workmanship, love the peeling too, it's a little detail, but I seem to look right at the pins to see if the work is truly great, I need me one of these to see what all the talk is about,, tc
