    Default Impala Horn Big Blade

    This one took me a while to complete but I think it came out pretty well. I've done a lot of giraffe bone and this looks and works differently. It has a nicer grain (IMHO) and has a darker hue. I put on about 7 coats of CA and sent about 20 minutes buffing. The wedge is green ghost which compliments the bone and silver well. The razor is very well balanced for such a large piece. As soon as I can find a nicer replacement blade, off it goes into my keeper case.
    Hope you like it.

    I agree about the grain, I really like the darker flecks in this set of scales. The blade came out fantastic. Great work.

    I think the big beefy scale design works well. Nice work Zomax

    The grain, colour & design is very nice indeed. Like how the blade etching shows when closed.
    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
