    Default More plywood!

    I made this specially to fit pretty much any blade. Its overly long and wedge is just washers. I can add or remove washers depending on blade size. Middle pin works great at keeping things even tighter.

    Blade is a Stainless Norton Cooperative Cutlery Society Sheffield, Norton A22 is in hollow. The blade is odd. The tang is straight and spine/edge is straight...just not with each other. After removing a medium sized chip it honed up perfectly. Drove me crazy trying get blade to seat in other scales, it always veered off to one side no matter how I tightened the pin. Figured out the whole spine/edge is at a different angle than tang.

    Best shave yet with it. Honed up easily. Was going to make it a bit slimmer on sides and bottom and top, but it already felt nice. Just big enough to be comfortable. The scales are like a tank. Dont think they will break easily.

    Those are very interesting scales, it is cool to see something out of the ordinary.
    Good Job,

    I like it! Simple and effective. More styling than plywood was intended for. Reminds me of a set of scales a couple of years back that were made from engineered floor trusses or something like that. I believe DMason made them.
