This is a nice little H. boker Monarch that I cleaned up and scaled for a local. I was not able to find any info on the "Monarch" model anywhere. Might have been made for a retailer or some such. The blade was in good shape just in need of a good shine. The goldwash (I assume it had it at some point) is gone but the engraving is in good order. the scales are made from Yellow Cedar with a CA glue finish.
The wood looks great, very nice job overall.
Very nice. I love the scales. There is alot of depth in the wood, almost 3-d.
Very nice, I like the marbled look to the grain as well; very classy look.
Worked out nice and those yellow cedar scales are really appealing.

Well done. Love those scales.
The wood is great looking. It however is VERY brittle. Since I hand sand everything I blew 4 sets of scales before I got a set of keepers. great looking yet VERY hard to work with when hand sanding. If i used a sander it would not be so bad I am sure.
+6 on the workmanship and the wood. Top-notch job and gorgeous wood!
Very nice work and scale work well done!
Nice job, love the scales, can't sat I've seen that wood around very nice.
