Wostenholm IXL in Katalox

We'll I've been talking about it for a bit in chat and last night I finally finished her up and honed her. It was more of a french point before the clean-up process, but looks great now.

Hand sanded out most of the damage, leaving a few larger pits for character and integrity of the blade. Tumbled in walnut and corn cob for the finish.

Scales are matched grain Katalox (actually the inside of the cut on the outside as the color and small knot in the top looked better) with a tagua nut wedge. Finished in CA with brass pins and spacers.

Very nicely done Muirtach.

That looks great, I like the shape of the scales and the finish.
