Tuckmar in birdseye maple acrylic
No dremel work to the blade. Just a straight-up re-scale.

That's stunning! The scales really enhance the blade. I love the wedge, & the fact that you've transferred the Tuckmar badge over. I actually think it looks ok without a thumbnotch too!

I really like this one. Great choice to leave the lines simple and clean.
How does it shave?

Haven't honed it up yet, so we'll see how it shaves...

I think you did a bang up job with those scales. I can't help but see the first picture and have the traditionalist that I am in me scream, "those original scales were sweet! Arghhhh!". Were the original scales really in that pristine condition??

Yup, they were shiny, and like brandy-new. Originally Posted by ChrisL

What's so "traditional" about a set of faux ivory plastic scales?

Agreed, Seraphim, I like your work a lot, and I was with you on the Wade and butchered you did, but on this one I don't know... All respect, great work, but the original looked awesome. Originally Posted by ChrisL
