    Default Sheffield Blade in Buffalo and Cow

    The wife and kids have been away for a couple of days so my evenings have been busy finishing this one off.
    I have a couple of Invictas in the collection that I've restored to their original look, and to be honest this one was pretty plain lookin. So I felt OK about personalizing this one a little
    I re-shaped the toe, added a notch in the tang and re-shaped the tail a little.
    The 13/16th blade didnt quite get to mirror finish, but I can live with it.
    I'm really happy with the way the horn scales turned out, the slab had some really nice color and contrast to it.
    The wedge is cow bone, with Nickel Silver pins and Stainless washers

    Very nicely done. I really like the horn and the pinning is done very nicely. Keep them coming.

    Night and day difference. That really turned out nice. Very nice.
