    Default 7/8 Savage & Sons Double Thumb Notch

    This came in a couple of days ago. I always wanted one of this maker's blades. It actually turned up in better shape than I had anticipated form pics as what appeared to be crumbled edge was just petrified muck that flaked off easily. A real shame about the front scale. Was also a bit taller than I had anticipated given the double notch. The ones I have owned have all been a bit smaller. I haven't loved this style of tang in action, but this one has a lot more meat so it may be better.

    Good looking razor, double thumb notch and all, personally i feel it would be ashamed not to use the original scales. The certainly can be repaired.

    Nice find. A shame about the broken scale. I would try to figure out a way to skillfully scab a piece on the end and reshape it. However that is part of the reason why I have fifty unfinished projects on my bench. Most times new scales are faster but old scales are cooler. It is always a struggle for me.

    NICE!! I agree with RezDog and can relate.

    Word to the wise, you're in for a surprise if you search "Savage XX" on google.

    The scales are worth a salvage attempt. Pressed horn savage scales don't grow on trees, sadly
