    Nice - I love the scale design!

    So far the only "Wolstenholme" I have is a Joseph which kind of doesn't count. It is mid-restore, but is a great-looking blade that I'm looking forward to trying out one of these days.

    It looks super to me right down to the sheath. You had a very reasonable find too.

    Funny you should mention that, I was thinking the same thing. The originals looked to be in decent shape too.
