    Default Case Real Redpoint Rebuild

    This one turned into quite the project, Aaron sent a few blades out for restores and honing and this blade in particular intrigued me so I went a slightly different direction then we originally planned At first I was going to tear down a set of Redpoint scales and transfer things around, but I ended up saving those... So now I had a blade with no scales and no plans this is where I ended up going with it...

    The blade was polished then re-blued, I chose Black Linen Micarta for the scales and copied the shape from the old Redpoint razor. I decided that I was going to inlay a "Real Redpoint" in these Micarta scales.. I tried two different ways of doing it, and finally ended up using liquid Red acrylic.. The wedge is also Red acrylic and the pins are Nickel Silver with SS washers..
