    There is a lot of depth to the grain. Very nice.

    Ready for the stones now. Sorry about the smudges on one of the scales.

    Besides the stones, I now need to come up with a box for the set. Put a lot more time into the collars and pinning. Its getting better. Not as good as some do but I'm getting closer. Thanks for looking.

    Oops. Doubled up on one of the pics.

    One more pic showing the scales curve matching the curve of the spine. Or damn close anyway.

    I too enjoy a nice pair. But we're talking razors here.

    Thanks all. Getting the rocks out in a few.

    Just did the bevel set on one. No issues. Nice. Crossing my fingers the other one does the same.
    BTW, I just tried the Outback Balance test, And its right at the tip of the scales. I think I must have gotten lucky with it this time.

    The outback balance test is overrated, Jerry.

    Just saying.
