Unfortunately, they're already gone.

Getting inside the radius was pretty easy with some 9/16 radial bristle disks. There are still a few minor pits on the blade, but it has almost no wear, and I honestly didn't want to do too much to...

Thanks. This is the first one I designed the scales for, rather than using an existing pattern I already had. The way the blade is ground forces it to sit much lower in the scales, so they had to...

And one more...
It's a 15/16 Joseph Elliot "Best Silver Steel" fullered grind. Scales are 3-pin black maeri, with a Tru-Oil finish. Brass lined plexi wedge.

I got mine at Woodcraft.com, but you can get it at Lee Valley/Veritas , which is in your neck of the woods (and who I prefer doing business with when I can :D)

It's wonderful wood. Originally, I was going to use it for a 15/16 Joseph Elliot fullered grind razor I have, but the shape of the blade was a bit...problematic, so I put it on one of my other...

There are a few gun stores around here that sell it, but I got mine from Woodcraft.com last time I ordered, along with some rottenstone and paraffin oil. I think it's about $11. One of these days...

These are 3 I've been working on. The first one is a Wade&Butcher 7/8 quarter hollow with 3-pin cocobolo scales. The second is a G. Crookes 7/8 1/4 hollow that I re-ground, with wenge scales, and...
