Nice work. I assume this was a shorty save from a crack or chip? Boy, that one really has a cleaver look being short and that wide.

I have to assume the same Paul, it came to me, already shortened, however it was in full sized scales which makes them prone to slipping through and cutting ya
I am not sure, but I think my customer bought it like that..

Shorty's are a thing now in some of the FB groups, I actually have two of them in for restore at the moment
The second is a W&B that I just re-cut a Notch

I think they have become popular with people like myself that have facial hair to shave around... Who knows

Damn that's nice Glen! I love those scales!

Very nice.!
Their practical, and fun to do, as well.

Good idea. Maybe I'll go snap some of mine.

Seriously though, actually I've always wanted to try one but my only broken or chipped ones are broken at the heel end.
