    Nice looking blade. That came out very well. IMO you should be very proud of this one.

    Nice work Johnny! I always say that Greaveses have souls! You have treated this fine example with proper respect.
    "Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
    I rest my case.

    Wonderful matchng of the arch of blade spine to the top of the scales, when razor closed. You'll find, as you did nicely here, once you get that right, all the rest of the shaping falls into place.

    Very nice horn, is if from masecraft?

    Thank you all for the comments. I was actually nervous if I would have gotten approvals or not. Typically I am not the kind of person that cares what others think, but in this case because I am so new at doing this and the examples that are already on the board - I felt under pressure. As I continue to do this work I am sure that experience will eventually show better results. Again thank you all.

    The horn is from Masecraft. I went to the shop to find the ones I wanted. I also picked up some buffalo bone. I am almost finished with the Giraffe bone, and I am not looking forward to working anymore bone (STINKS!!!!). The coolest thing I saw at masecraft though...Armadillo shell!!! I dont know if its something that can be used for razor scales...but I might be trying.
