What a great thing to do with those scales. A clean job, that showers respect on that ivory. The pinning looks just like it should, perfect. Beautiful.

Tom,
You've given a wonderful homage to two fabulous blades. The vintage ivory scales look as if the blades were meant to be scaled in them, and the blades cleaned up to work a vision. I would never guess these were not brand new blades.
I'm sorry to hear you'll be away for some time; your contributions will be sorely missed. That said, this restoration was an incredible way to go out on a high note!sharptonn likes this.He saw a lawyer killing a viper on a dunghill hard by his own stable; And the Devil smiled, for it put him in mind of Cain and his brother Abel.
