Today I rescaled this W&B 9/8ths ..

The client wanted green Ox horn scales, copies of the originals with a copper lined wedge.. The blade was already restored.

The scales have a polished edge and a satin center. The satin shows off the pearl like qualities and a depth which is exchanged for flat colours when polished..
The B side scale is white pearl in daylight and green in artificial light..

It was a pleasure to hone this with a Nagura progression..
Thanks
