I'll quote this and hopefully the pics will tag along with it. If they don't, check out page 835, post number 8346 to see what Tuzi was dealing with from the beginning. Like I've said in the past Tuzi, everything you touch seems to turn to gold. Excellent, excellent work my friend!!
Am I seeing brown in those horn scales??
Thanks for the compliments and all the support given here guys! Keeps ya going when things get challenging.
@Harrywally, the horn is black, I think there may be some reflection of something in the workshop showing up in the polished surface.
I see you use Paul sharpening system as well, me to.
I finally got the horn I ordered from England last week, so I took the Greaves apart.

It only had one set of washers on it but I managed to save them. Looks like the inner ones might be steel? There's what looks like rust on them, though the pin is very definitely brass and so are the outside washers.

Heavens to Betsy, after a little sanding looks like the pitting turns out to be really, really deep especially on the back side.

Here is as cleaned up as I am likely to get this blade. The pits go down to the bevel, but it's a true wedge so I'm not worried.

Got to make me some scales. Tuned up my bandsaw.
Excellent observation, Andrew!
I wish we could copy and paste a pic like we used to be able to do as the remove format button worked!
Anyhoo...a fairly dramatic before and after! If I may?
