Those scales don't do that blade justice IMHO.

Hey Tom,
I am not crazy about aluminum scales in general, but I must say that this one turned out rather nice. Good work

Any fibre liners between the blade & scales ? As an ex-mechanic I used to see plenty of rusted Astons that had aluminium bodies & steel chassis. Always been uncomfortable about aluminium since then but it looks great

Very nicely done Tom. What a beauty!
I coat of some type of wax on the scales, maybe Ren wax will keep the aluminum from tarnishing and keep them shinny.

I know what you mean, the dissimilar metals! I almost used some stainless spacers and thought better. I went with brass. I usually keep the tangs high and dry anyway! Thanks Originally Posted by onimaru55
