Are you planning on cleaning and restoring the scales.
Did good on the blade.... Clean but old and still being used. [emoji106]

Thanks!

In time I'll clean the scales up. Give them a light sanding and a buff.

Willis, that has a unique barbers notch. Love it!

I agree.... I haven't seen another that looks like it.
I'm sure some people have some similar to it out there.

Fixin up a set of scales that were gifted to me, thanks Sharpton . (Tom)
They were a little bent, crack in wedge hole.

Flattened the scales, lightly scuff the repair areas with steel wool, clean area with denatured alcohol and apply 2 coats thin, 1 coat medium CA.
If all goes well with the repair ( dont see why ), I will mate it with a Blue Devil blade that I've restored an reblued some time back.

It's been waiting a long time for a new set of shoes , and these are perfect for it
