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.

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

Great job Bob, brings some warmth to the cold stainless steel original scales.
The blued tang and red scales reminds me of a Red Imp.BobH likes this.
