I just finished a Joseph Smith & Sons cleaver blade. Although it came out nice and sharpened up well, I am not sure how it will shave. I am reluctant to maybe waste handmade scales and time. I want to shave with it for a week, so I used a cheap set of plastic scales I had laying around and put them on to try it out. I am sure some of you do this, but I just hit on the idea.

Just thought I would pass it along to those who may be interested.
