    Default Wosty Frameback - Green Canvas Micarta

    I picked this one up for a song on ebay. Blurry picture and bad description. I took a chance though and it turned out pretty good.

    I cleaned up the blade quite a bit. Some pitting on the frameback still exist, plus the big one under the tang by the pivot.

    I used green canvas micarta for the first time on this. I really like the look. The weave of the canvas is rather yellow, and I like the contrast. The wedge is the original. SS rod and washers.

    Wow, great job!

    That looks really good and the scales work very well with the blade.

    Nicely done in all respects. I like the look of the micarta with that razor.

    Nice curvature to the micarta, both on the shape and edge curves. It fits really well
