    Default Four More to finish out this week.

    Today I pushed a little so I could enjoy a nice long 3 day weekend.

    I started the day by snapping a pair of Midnight Purple Poly- Acrylics when I started pinning. I honestly think it was a bad spot in the material.

    Here are the others I completed today.

    The Ashton Jackson that I had polished up last week and made so Carbon Fiber scales for but after some thought and suggestions I went back to a more period correct look with these Buffalo Horn scales and a bone wedge.

    Next I ripped out this ultra thin set of Black Carbon Fiber for this JR Torrey Extra Hollow Ground blade. I polished out the blade but left a fairly large amount of the pitting as I did not want to lose the etching and also because this is a pretty thin blade as is. The wedge is Buffalo Horn

    Next came the Buffalo Horn scales for one of the two Otto Busch Weltmeister blades I was given a few weeks ago. The blades look to be new. The wedge is also Buffalo Horn.

    Last but not least is the second Weltmeister. For this one I finished out a set of Abalone scales. These are my own in-house version of LVS. I had done the pouring a few weeks ago.

    I think I am gonna hone up that little Torrey now so I can give it a go in the morning...

    Enjoy!

    That Weltmeister in horn is excellent. Classy, understated....never going out of fashion....kinda like big leather wingback chairs with Queen Anne legs!

    Great job. All of them look stunning. I'd have a tough time picking which one to use in the morning.
