    Default W & B 5/8 with koa with maple wedge.

    I've spent the last couple of weeks making this in my spare time. The original scales were cracked at the pivot pin so I made some new ones out of koa and the wedge is maple. The finish is a hand rubbed poly / oil. The pins are silver nickel and the washers stainless.

    Amazing work on the blade, and the grain on the scales is beautiful.

    Stunning timber. Fine wraps for a fine blade.
