    I really like it Glenn. I wish I had something more eloquent to say, but that's the plain and simple truth of it. Very well done IMHO.

    That honey horn is outstanding. It's got a beautiful colour. I like that little portion on the non-stamped side of the blade that almost turns blonde near the toe.

    Don't mind the Starrett either!

    If the original manufacturer saw that he would probably go home and slap his dad for not teaching him to do that kind of work. Another outstanding job. Your restorations never cease to amaze me.

    Beautiful work Glen, the horn scales look super, and a great looking wedge.
