Joseph Rodgers Matchless 6/8 / Wattle scales
J.Rodgers 6/8 hollow, round point that had tarnish &pitting at the toe end of spine, both sides. I hand sanded as gently as I could so as to not compromise the engraving so not perfect.
Unfortunately tangs a bit askew so closes off centre but no scale contact so I won't rush to correct it.
Original pewter wedge.
Wattle (Acacia) scales with a little sap wood showing. 2000 grit burnished oil finish.
Bevel's nearly set. Off to finish honing & shave test .Last edited by onimaru55; 12-19-2008 at 12:24 AM.

Well, shave test passed with flying colours.
Typical close shaving, smooth Sheffield steel. Lurrrvve it.“The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.”
