    Default Thistle Cutlery Co. in Tiger Eye Acrylic

    Just finished this one up... a 11/16 Spike point Thistle Razor nestled in some "Tiger Eye" Acrylic scales... I used all brass hardware on this one and black acrylic for the wedge...

    There is no wear at all on the spine and the razor looks to have never been honed...
    The blade is near perfect, with no visible blemishes what so ever and a satin finish

    This one was made in Fremont Ohio 1890-1917..

    Definitely a Gem ! (pun intended)
    Like the swirly deco scales. Reminds me a little of my Droescher

    Beautiful match, perfectly finished and very pleasing to the eye. A classic done by the G brother.

    Beautiful!

    The scales remind me a little of Amboyna Burl.
