My first 8/8 Koraat arrived in the mail today. Ulrik shipped it three weeks agofrom Austria. It took awhile, but was well worth the wait. Wanted the simple classic Sheffield look, so I stuck to the basics on the design and wanted to do my own scales. Dressed her up today in a set of scales that I made two weeks ago with her in mind, and they seem to suite her nicely. They are stabilized buckeye burl, lined in stabilized walnut. Wedge is also buckeye burl. Borrowed this design from Macrob in Ireland- thanks. Collars are nice large replica dome brass and pins are nickel silver. I am happy with the result. I will try shaving with this monster in the morning. Have shaved with other 8/8 but will go slowly with this bad boy... Just sharing
