That is very pretty tom. Would those scales have come with the razor as an option or are they a later addition?

I just found 6" x 1" 14 gauge sterling sheet on the bay for $95.99 each. That's pretty expensive but for someone wanting to make some really nice scales, 14 gauge (.083") would be thick enough. Originally Posted by sharptonn

Those are great razors. I re-scaled one a while back in old blonde horn.

It was an offer I couldn't refuse.
