A blade I found in the wardrobe at my grandpa's place, with broken scales but otherwise in nice condition. Pretty much unused, and probably never honed. Handsanded the blade up from 400 up to 5000 grit.

The wedge is in ebony as well, lined with aluminium. In retrospect I find the scales and the wedge a bit on the heavy side. Will try to keep it slimmer the next time. The ebony is soaked in boiled linseed oil, and have a little beeswax on them.

The blade is a full hollow grind, with a little belly. Honed up nicely on the Naniwa SS, and finished on a yellow-green Thüringen. Shaves very smoothly.

Thanks for looking, and keep your projects coming!
