Thread: Wosty in Gembok - Want honest opinions

So I tried to do something different and I cannot decide whether I like it or not. I want you guys to give me your honest opinion on it ... whether you would have done something different, keep as is, whatever.
I started with...I'll call it a silver finial instead of bolster... that I wanted to incorporate into the scales. It would have been easier and I could have shaped it better with a thick piece of buffalo horn but all I had was piece of gemsbok. The gemsbok was not wide enough to do much with and it's difficult anyway with it's ridges.
I restored an interesting Wostenholm blade to use and went to work. Even tho the razor (scales) is really long, it balances pretty well. What I am thinking of doing (or trying to do) is to cut into the metal on one side so that the blade can sit further up and I can shorten the scale length.
As it sits right now, it resembles one of those old 18th century English razors that sport fancy bolsters and has that appeal. So before I attempt to alter what I've done, I thought I would throw it out to the group for some comments.
Thanks everyone!
