W. Greaves & sons 8/8+,,, Not in Honey Horn :)
Jon sent this one out to me for a restore, we were hoping to save the Vintage Horn scales but that just wasn't to be, they were just too far gone..
He had asked about using G10, and when I explained there was a new color available that should resemble Honey Horn when polished, it was a go.
W.Greaves & Sons Near Wedge just under 9/8 size.
Polished to a Satin Glow finish
Scales are one of the new colors at Masecraft "Gold Translucent" they are down to .105 thickness now
Wedge, Pins and Double Stack Washers are all Solid Brass
Honing Chosera 1-5-10, Select Coticule finish...
Thanks for looking..Last edited by gssixgun; 06-27-2013 at 10:21 PM.

The scale material looks great Glen and it sets off the blade and your work on it perfectly.
