    Thanks. As for the point, that's probably just my poor photography. I didn't really change the profile of the edge much at all, other than to hone it up to shave-ready (or my closest approximation )

    That's a very nice and fitting scale shape. I like how the scales are so thin - in my own laboratory, I hesitate to make horn scales that thin, for fear of rushing, overheating, and warping them

    The rounding of the scales at either end is superb workmanship to mange it without even a hint of a flat.
