Thread: Wade & Butcher restore of delaminatind scales

First attempt at trying to salvage delaminating scales on an old WB. Normally, I would just put on a set on new horn scales but thought I'd give this a go.
Followed the advise in this forum and I was happy with the result. Just applied some CA, let dry, soaked in neatsfoot oil in a baggie over night. Let dry. Sanded progressively 400 to 2K grit. Put the scales back on, added some old stainless steel collars, silver nickle pins to go with the inlays and wedge. Then just polished it up a bit. Cleaned up the blade but saved some of its age.
Something nice about bringing an old beauty back to life again. Will put a nice edge on her and add it to my rotation. Show and tell...
