Thread: First attempt with horn - Wade & Butcher

Wow. Awesome. You have done an excellent job.
I like the scale shape and the pinning is very tidy.

That thread is in the Workshop sticky now too...

Thanks Glen,

I was thinking of adjusting the scales, but I'm not sure it will solve the problem.

In the pic below I put in a green line to better show how the blade should be and a red to show where it is, as you can see the problem is that the spine is twisted.
I managed to make it little better, but I didn't want to push my luck in fear of the tang breaking if I used too much power.

Love the look of the bottom of the scalea and the double pin

Great work Rune.

Sweet work especially the scales. They look so modern / sleek to be holding a Sheffield style blade. Nice going, sir. Very well executed and nice staging for the photos.

Great work! It's really like giving second life to the razor.
