W & B In Horn

Hello All,

A HUGE thank you to our SUPER Generous member/moderator Commiecat for his generosity in offering to tumble my W & B. My goal for this blade was to keep as much of the etching as possible. The tumbling worked perfectly! I finally made the scales for the blade. I used translucent Buffalo horn and bone for the wedge. These are the 3rd set of scales that I have made and am very happy with the finished product. I finally purchased a bench sander and these scales were the first to be shaped on the sander. The polishing was done by hand after wet sanding to 2k. The pins are brass with brass washers.

Thanks for looking, comments welcomed.

Those are some gorgeous pieces of horn you've got on that. Glad to help out with the blade -- it really shined up nicely.

Now we just need to know how it shaves! :)

Gonna hone it tomorrow after my ride. Will post it in SOTD for sure!

Thanks again.

Damned Pinko Commies anyhow! ;):D

Very nice job.. the horn is gorgeous...

Every thing looks tight and straight,,,

I personally love hearing about collaboration efforts good job you two... :)

Thank you Glen, for the compliment.

Just finished honing it and the Shumate, gonna test the Wade & Butcher now. It took me 2 hours to set the bevel properly as the blade is not true. I was popping arm hairs when I finished.
