I think some form of horn or tortoise would suit it nicely! I am thinking something like water buffalo with the texture of the growth rings still visible and could still be felt with the fingertips but nicely polished!

it came with original transparent blond horn, but despite the fact of what they Were, i hated how they looked, i removed them and sent em to someone else for soap. and am having some made and the tail fixed. ill probably have glen hone it.
ill add pics

to me theyre colored like a condom you see laying by the side of the road

That's my 7/8 baby. Got some acrylic scales custom etched from Tim. Just need to get some pinning material and hone that Bad Boy.

You have no soul good Sir. you're just a wiggly little 8 legged sea creature
And yes, I remember the chat room conversation now that you mention it. I told you then that they were horn and likely original.

when they came in the mail, i didnt know horn could be transparent, i thought they were just some faded celluloid. i alomst just snapped them off and threw them away. but luckily i had the since to google transparent horn.

i want to try a heftyer wedge, this one is narrow

Here are my entries:

#1 is a B.J. Eyre & Co (Late W. Greaves & Sons) 6/8 that is in rough shape, but is nice and thick, so should clean up with a little TLC...

#2 is a Joseph Allen & Sons Non XLL 5/8 (I know it says "Hollow Ground" but it's quite wedgy) that I actually kind of like the patina on, so I'll probably just hone 'er up and see how she does.

#3 is a Union Cutlery Co. Spike 11/16 that I haven't decided whether to see if I can get all the pitting out or if I should just leave it and go

#4 is a Wade & Butcher that is gonna be shipped to Max when I get the funds.

#5 is a Wostenholm IXL 5/8 (The blade etching is the "The Americans Give The Right Hand Of Fellowship To All Nations And Own An Universal Brotherhood") This one will be polish only, as I'd like to keep the etching if possible.

#6 is a Wostenholm IXL 7/8 that is my best shaver. love that big beast.

#7 is a very old Wostenholm IXL 4/8 (I've had several people guess early Washington Works era based on the shape of the blade and tang). this thing is a superb shaver.
