    Default C.W.Dahlgren Frameback in ivory with a special tang/monkeytail.

    Picked this one up for about 10 Usd. at a local fleamarket. Took out the pins, a few hours of sanding the blade, sanded and reshaped the scales at the pivot end. Microfasteners at the moment but will repinn later. Looks nice, doesn't it?

    I like the fact that it's back in the original scales. They are lovely. As vgod said, be gentle with them when re-pinning. I split some i was practising on very easily. Nice frameback indeed.

    Got Shaptons from Howard yesterday so today i honed it up together with two other restored swedes, a Klas Törnblom and a C.V. Heljestrand nr 29. Test shaved all three, and all went well as i removed 3 days of neglect
