When you do the next one, use that fine horn, but shape them after the curvy originals.
Some pics around here.. THAT would be nice!
I cannot make scales, but enjoy planting a thought.
If I may.

Tom, I've seen pics of the strangely-curved original scales with the Ator in raised letters if that's what you're talking about, but this one came in black horn that I traced for this pattern, same shape as the rescale.

I may have one of these around. I don't think so. Seems there is a spot to see a variety of scales and shapes.
Someone know the link?
The shape goes with the blade no matter what, yet the shape of the originals was pretty cool, IMO.

Excellent work! The blade came out great - the time and attention to detail really shows on this one. The scales just take the cake too! You have a treasure there and it was a great success, so happy for you. Thank you for sharing about the process and what a gift for your son that will be! Great job through and through, awesome to see it come together so nicely for ya

Beautiful restore! Those scales really set off the razor. The attention to detail is obvious and admirable. Keep up the good work!

That blade looks as good to me as any buff job. Hand sanding is just so much nicer! Awesome work!
