Wade&Butcher back from the dead in Indian Sambar Stag scales

This is an old 5/8 hollow ground spike that looked like it had been buried in muck for a hundred years. The blade got a lot of sanding. It ran from 220 to 12000 grit, then 3 pastes on the buffing wheels and then a bit of Maas. The blade had not been polished yet when I took the photos. It really shines now. It is pretty much a mirror finish now except for one tiny spot on the blade.

I was trying to decide what I wanted to scale this one in. I have a hunk of real Indian Sambar Stag left from another project so I cut the antler down, sanded the life out of it to get the right thickness and shape, put an ebony wedge in it and pined the blade. I was not sure if I liked it, but the more I look at it the more I like it. Now the question becomes, do I keep it or put it in the classifieds.

It's very nice! I love the spikes with the rounding on the spine.
If you're not sure what to do with it, give it a week. If you can still take it or leave it, put it in there. There'll be plenty of guys who will get pretty excited over it.

Beautiful work all around....

Very, very nice. If I were you, I think I would keep it :)

I love it, great job! :rock:

It's a keeper!
