It was then shipped off to Ernie (nerdman on B&B) and we had a chat about what I wanted. I knew what I wanted the wedge end to look like and I knew I wanted it in horn and the rest I left up to Ernie. I think that he excelled himself. It was his first set of horn scales as well.
I'm definitely looking forward to more collaborations with Ernie.

Great job on the scales, I especially like the contours on the larger portion. elegant & tastefully done!

Beautiful blade and sooo classy scales, i'm jealous !
