H. Boker Monarch cleanup and rescale
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.

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.
Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

Worked out nice and those yellow cedar scales are really appealing.

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.
