    Default 7/8 Le Grelot 14 in Black/Blue G10

    I managed to lay my hands on a 7/8 Le Grelot 14 with a square point (which I haven't seen many of). It had some hone wear, but lots of steel left. I polished the blade and fashioned some new scales out of Blue/Black G10 with an ivory Micarta wedge, NiAg pins and stainless washers. Sorry for all the pics, but I was having trouble choosing!

    I know those have to be big scales to properly shield that blade, but you managed to make them look nimble! Your craftsmanship is superb! Great job!
