Little red racer
Had a Wapi blade kicking around for some time and finally got around to making scales for it. The scale material is from a small red kitchen cutting board. The wedge is a piece of white Teflon I had lying around but it has to be redone as it is too wide one the inboard end. The blade was also a guinea pig for a little cold blue experiment a bit previously. As a bonud, it turns out that It is a very nice shaver,

Picked up 3 of those cutting boards in different colours at the Sally Anne for 69 cents each. Might even save one for use as a cutting board.

Looks like plenty of grip as well. Good thinking "Outside of the box" Bob

Yea, as a matter of fact it sorta reminds me of the textured scales on a Victorinox pocket knife I had.

Nice job on the mcguyver scales. I do like the texturing of the cutting board.
Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

Looks like we will be going with a flat piece of shim stock for the edge on this McGuyer project instead of the Teflon wedge that was fitted. Call it field expedient.

Perfect use for your cold blue experiment,
I love the contrast, bold and subtle at the same time.

Scratch plan B for the wedge but plan C works. A flat piece of opaque nylon did the trick. Now to clean up the mess.
