Greaves 8/8+ Finally made one for me!
It's been a while since I posted anything and it's really been some time since I made
something for myself. So I bagged the Mothers Day shopping this afternoon and spent a little
"ME" time putting this pretty thing together.
Greaves blade just a touch under almost 9/8 - new horn scales sanded up to 3000 grit - giraffe bone
and nickel silver layered wedge. I can't take any credit for the blade as it came to me in great condition (thanks Mark). IMHO, the popular WB choppers are nice but have nothing over a nice Greaves. This one I keep.

Very tasteful restoration
