Henckels #60 Upgrade
I was very lucky to nab a good one off the bay for 4 bucks and change plus 6 bucks to ship. I saw the dropped spine and was intrigued. The blade was way too nice for the ol black celluloid scales and I had been looking for a blade for these carved bone.I fashioned a wedge from mesonite and while I do not usually use these fancy collars, I thought they go well with the carving on the scales. These are from Barbur and I really like to use his collars for bone and Ivory as they keep excessive pressure from the scales while peening. Aluminum spacers and a nice hone job. Shaves Super! Nice one, I think! Merry Christmas to All!
