    Default Koraat rescale in Kirinite Sunspot Orange.

    I have been meaning to make a new set of scales for my Koraat for quite some time, I have also been making a few scales for forum members and getting lovely results using Kirinite, so I saw this blank in Sunspot orange and I knew these were going to be the ones, I used a red Kirinite wedge nickel silver pins and stainless steel washers.

    Lovely work as always, Jamie.
    Im not a fan of bold coloured Kirinite on say an old Sheffield but with a modern custom like your Koraat I think it looks brilliant.

    Thanks, Mark, I'm in total agreeance with you, leave the old Sheffields dressed in the traditional materials such as horn ivory and bone, on the other hand, modern and some vintage Japanese look great with these bold colours.

    Very nice work. I think bold colored scales are like breaking a board with your hand in karate. You can't go half way. You have to be all in. That fits really well with that blade.
