    I reckon so Chef. Like the top n bottom thumbnotch critter.

    Just realised they're nearly all Buff horn so far too.
    Some Ivories or Tortoiseshells etc would round it out a bit but whatever, it's all good.

    That's cause black horn is where it's at

    I was looking at my current keepers (I think 12, but I don't remember offhand) the other day, and I all but 4 are black horn.

    ARRGGHH!! Just started (ok started again) on the Clark and Hall oldie (1790's) and noticed s bit of rot in the edge that will require at least 1/8" of edge removal... I really don't want to remove so much metal from the edge of such an old piece... but I also really want to shave with it... /cry As I think on it I believe I stopped working on it last year because I found the problems and didn't want to deal with it at the time... Now I just have to make a decision as to what I want to do with it...

    Dude, 1/8 " sounds like more than a bit of rot.
    Hope it comes out a winner for you.
