Less than a month after my initial enquiry, my blank arrived from Butch this week! From that, to arrival in England in that time frame is fairly outstanding, so thanks very much Butch!
Today I was eager to get it into scales so it could be honed up & given it's trial run.
I used black horn with a spalted apple wedge. Photo's aren't perfect, as it's dark here, but you should get an idea.
What do you think guys?
