A bunch of Shokwood Blanks, Badger Knots
Today arrived this nice Veritable Vincent Wedge in 6/8".
Usually i like a bit of Rat Look but these Scales are really to damaged, not the search for original or similar scales that fit the blade starts, the blade is a bit shorter than the other french wedges i have, i guess it will take a while until i can make it shave ready :-(

If you can make you some scales, you should be able to make some pretty quick. I aways keep black horn, streaked horn, honey horn, rams horn, bleached white bone & some cocobolo wood on hand for making scales so I'm good to go for awhile! I also have some jade green G-10 but I haven't tried that yet!
I guess making scales for the Vincent is a bigger problem, the Original Scales are only sawed and a bit grinded at the Corners, i dont have horn and im looking for some at the moment :-)
This is for bleached white bone:
Bleached Bone Scales 6€ x 1 1 2€ x 3 8€ Pair Knife Making Slabs 5404 206 204 | eBay
And this is for Buffalo Horn, usually black:
Buffalo Horn Scales 6€ x 1 1 2€ x 3 8€ Pair 5404 205 204 | eBay
I wouldn't know what is available over there in Germany.
I just finished these......................
It was hard holding them up to the light with a steady hand.
I get all my horn blanks from mygann on ebay. Great quality and great seller. Usually one blank cut in half makes one set of scales.
@engine: Thank you for the Links! Decided a few Hours ago to make them myself, found 2mm thick Plates of Black or transparent Horn in a Germany Medieval-Cosplay Shop but the Thing that persuaded me to give it a try was that i found a mechanical fret saw in my grandfathers workshop :-D
Tomorrow or maybe Friday i will overtake the saw and take some practise with it and i guess (when the shop deliveres the horn fast) next week the Scales will be Ready to use :-)
