    I immediately thought that the wedge seems to mirror the spine work!
    Excellent work, Grant. A huge improvement. You have come far with your skills.
    I can't make scales. I admire those that can!

    Very well done. I like the lines and feel of the first set of scales. The second set is beautiful.

    AWESOME WORK! But tell me, did you get that Kropp from SRP member earcutter? He really likes his blades with "patina."

    I'm pretty sure it was this Aluminium Oxide stone that I used (It was actually nearly 3 years ago that I did the spine).
    The spine was SO badly rusted that I had nothing to loose with getting a little creative with it.
    The notches were almost a rust removal method as much as decorative.

    Thanks boys

    Grant, it looks good first time around and absolutely stunning this time around. Very tidy work, the wede looks nice and tight. Well done.

    Nice job mate. Much less chunky
