    Default Wonderedge II

    The Wonderedge that I have been waiting for FINALLY arrived today.

    The seller took FOREVER it seems to ship it to me...

    Anyways it is here and I broke it down because the scales were chipped, split and had a piece missing.

    As you can probably guess if you have seen any of my threads, I am re-doing this with Ebony scales.
    Just LOVE the look of the Gold and BLACK!

    Here it is broken down:

    The Wonderedge inlay was off already when I got it and the ducks were barely hang on.
    Just a SLIGHT twist with an x-acto under them and they fell right off!

    I am going to try and conical the whole process for myself.

    Off to a good start with pics.

    Now to remember to take more pictures along the way......

    You should set up a live webcam so we can watch the restore real time.

    I don't have a web cam.
    That would be VERY cool though!

    It looked to be in decent shape.
    I knew it would need new scales and I got it for a pretty good price I think.

    Give one a try and see what happens...
    Worse case is you send it out to get fixed... LOL

    Very nice, no need for an Upstate New York Special on this blade!

    Well let's keep our fingers crossed that I don't need to do that special Upstate NY point on it...

    Time to switch to some finer sandpaper and really get them close!
