    are you serious those scales are ridiculously awesome


    man the only way my patients let along skills could get to that degree of detail would be with a laser or water jet cutter

    The work on the ivory is vintage, I'm sadly not able to make this kind of details, but I'm working to make use of it as scales, fitting the tortoise, nail it, then working on the blade.

    Anyway, I like it a lot.

    I think that the artisan that worked on this piece of ivory (back in the XIXth century) probably started to learn his work before his 10

    The first pair has been put on an "Acier Fondu n°1", tail-less.

    Ivory, tortoise, silver and old cast steel.







    There were a vintage chip on this side.





    I'm quite satisfied of the result
