In which a n00b experiments with synthetics
Wade & Butcher ~13/16 frameback in synthetic black pearl. Wedge is synth white pearl.
I spent maybe 20 hours sanding on this blade to get it where it is now. With no access to a buffer besides my dremel I decided enough was enough and fabricated a set of scales for it this evening.

Wooow! Normally I´m not a fan from artificial materials, but this black pearl is absolutely beautiful. Also the shape of the handle and how it works together with the blade is really superb.
Where you found this black pearl?

Really first rate job. You've got a lot of patience and talent there.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
