    Very nice!

    So far, I prefer round points to square points, but I think you did a wonderful job reshaping the toe of that blade. Looks like original manufacture to me.

    Hand tools only on the scales? I'm impressed! Nice pins too.

    A nice return on a $10 investment. Keep up the good work!

    That is an impressive job! I can't imagine using my dremel tool to cut a nice end like that! Or making scales half so nice with hand tools!

    Awesome work!

    Nice looking scales, nicely balanced, smooth transitions in the curves.

    After a couple more you'll look back and see that the peening needs a little more work. The best thing is to polish up the peened heads to get rid of the slight hammer mark.
    A small thing, but overall quite nice. Keep at it.

    Nice save & good job on the reshaping.
