    Cool Arctic White G-10 & Bone Linen Micarta

    Two I just finished up

    First a full custom restore on a 7/8+ Joseph Rodgers for our very own Dustoff, The scales are the new Arctic White G-10 thinned down to .100 the wedge is Amber Recon stone and the edge you see is .055. The blade was polished to a satin finish..
    All the hardware is solid Brass
    Honing = Chosera 1-5-10, Select Grade Corticule finish

    Second, is a re-scale of a 6/8 Dovo BQ, the original scales cracked and Marty requested that I use Bone Linen Micarta so they would look similar, but they would be virtually indestructible
    The new scales are also at .100 (The old ones were .140) the wedge is at .055 on the end and madfe out of Tigereye Recon stone, all hardware is solid Brass
    Honing = Chosera 1-5-10, Thuringen finish

    Thanks Glen, Marty and I are lucky guys! Great job it looks spectacular I cannot wait to get to Hawaii so I can use it. I have a good feeling that the best is yet to come... I will be standing by waiting to see your next works of art for me.
