8/8 Friodur in Horn and Horn and Horn
Here is a 8/8 Friodur that I did is Honey Ox Horn, with a aluminum lined Buffalo Horn wedge with a Buffalo Horn spacer at the 3rd pin. Once again, these things are a pain to center properly and this one was the worst I have seen, but after many test fittings it is perfectly centered now. I drilled the 3rd pin spacer a little off center (It looks more so in the pics) to still keep the thick diameter of the spacer there but still clear the tang just fine.
You can see me taking the pic in the pin:
To show how shiny it is:

That horn is absolutely gorgeous, but the pinning is worth a note too! What a great job! Love those blades & you've done it justice.

WOW that is amazing looking material and craftsmanship. I love the Friodur's and thous scales shape, finish and pinning are definitely a excellent complement to that blade. Or is the blade an excellent complement to your work.
