    Default 9/8 Jonathan Crookes light restore and rescale

    Just finished this one. The original scales were in nice shape but were cracked at the pivot. 9/8 at the toe Jonathan Crookes for Barbers Use. Rescaled in translucent horn with a wedge of aluminum-lined brown horn. Can't wait to get her honed up.

    Nicely done. I must admit, you put up a good fight for that blade

    A fine set of scales, nicely matched to the old blade. It's yours, but a little hand sanding were it mine! Excellent work!

    Damn, now I'm embarrassed you know how much I paid for that thing
    I wanted it enough to sell a chunk of my collection for it. Totally worth it.

    Those scales are beautiful, and I love the patina on the blade. Very nice
